Regional Focus: Africa | School Leadership Matters Summit 2025

Описание: If every child in Africa is to thrive, what must change in how we support school leaders? This session brings together practitioners, researchers, and educators from across the continent to respond to this critical question. Watch David Marriott (CEO, Ubuntu Education), Seera Carol (School Leader, Uganda), Dr. Chinedum Oluwadamilola (Teach for Nigeria), and Simon Graffy (Inspiring Teachers) as they share lived experiences, evidence-based practices, and innovative solutions for strengthening school leadership in diverse African contexts. This is dialogue designed to spark ideas, share evidence, and open space for collective action.

The School Leadership Matters Summit 2025, co-convened by Global School Leaders and UNESCO GEM Report, brought together school leaders, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, NGOs, philanthropists, and others to explore how empowering school leaders transforms education. With 9 sessions across 3 days, 30+ speakers discussed the critical role of leadership in advancing early childhood education, foundational learning, and gender equity across the Global South.

Held virtually from November 4th to 6th, 2025, the summit bridged the gap between global data and lived experience, centering voices from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
