EDUCATION
A quick snapshot of education numbers in Africa shows a 42% dropout rate of school children before their last grade. Despite considerable progress in school enrollments in past years, the continuous effects of armed conflicts in Africa is keeping millions of children out of school and quite more unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic is said to have exacerbated issues making things even worse for vulnerable populations such as young girls, children with disabilities(PWD), indigenous peoples, refugees and the rural poor.
