Global Education and the African Union

Agenda 2063 is a strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of Africa over the next 50 years. It was adopted by the African Union in 2013 and aims to achieve a prosperous, integrated and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena.

Education is seen as a key driver of Africa's socio-economic transformation because it is essential for developing the skills and knowledge needed to drive economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve livelihoods. Education also plays a vital role in promoting peace and security by fostering understanding and tolerance among different groups of people.

Agenda 2063 has four key education goals: to achieve universal access to quality education at all levels, to improve the quality of education at all levels, to promote lifelong learning and skills development, and to ensure that education is relevant to the needs of the African economy and society.

The Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA) is a framework for implementing Agenda 2063's education goals. It was adopted by the African Union in 2015 and provides a roadmap for achieving these goals by 2063.

CESA has four key priorities: expanding access to education at all levels, improving the quality of education at all levels, promoting lifelong learning and skills development, and ensuring that education is relevant to the needs of the African economy and society.

The African Union plays a vital role in promoting global education by advocating for the inclusion of African perspectives in global education policies and programs, supporting African countries in developing and implementing their education policies and programs, and providing financial and technical assistance to African countries for education.
