The statistics speaks for itself, education investments in Africa. Although, efforts seem to have focused on increasing enrolment rate, recent deliberations at the global level have shown a deficit in learning which ascertains that while enrolment rates might be on the rise, it does not automatically equate learning. The scenario as we have it is 21st-Century learners sitting in 20th Century classrooms and receiving lessons from teachers who were taught with 20th century teaching methodologies. Accordig to the United Nations’ Transforming Education Summit 2022 working document, ‘while the continent requires 15 million more teachers to achieve quality education by 2030; 1 in 3 teachers in Africa lack basic qualification. Changes brought for th by the pandemic further unnderscores the need for continuous professional development for teachers, to ensue that they are equipped to meet the dynamic learning demands of 21st century learners. In the face if insufficient infrastructure, low teacher:student ratio and low education investments, digital technology has offered some solutions in the form of interactive learning management systems, teacher training platforms, tutoring and test preparation platforms, etc among others. The possibilities of leveraging technology in education are endless and if leveraged properly in enabling environments could catalyse the education transformation we all desire in Africa.
