Digital Education is Here to Stay

Today in rural Kenya, students access university courses on the phone. In Lagos, out-of-school youths learn coding skills and land tech jobs. This is happening now.

The African Union has made digital education a continental priority through its Digital Education Strategy (2023-2028), positioning technology as essential for creating a skilled workforce and achieving the AU's Agenda 2063 vision of a knowledge society.

Why It Matters

Digital education tackles Africa's most pressing challenges: reaching remote populations, supporting vulnerable groups (including girls and adults with disabilities), and reducing adult illiteracy. After COVID-19, it's more critical than ever for preparing youth for the modern job market.

The Three Pillars

The AU strategy focuses on: (1) accelerating digital tools in classrooms, (2) strengthening digital literacy for teachers and students, and (3) building infrastructure—expanding networks, reducing internet costs, and increasing device availability.

Success requires sustained funding, strong leadership, and partnerships between governments, development organizations, and private companies (African Union Commission, 2023).
