Africa needs to boost education in Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) to develop its human capital and accelerate progress toward the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. While African countries have been boosting access to STEM education, challenges remain, undermining these initiatives across the continent.

The Transforming Education Summit was held in New York from 16 to 19 September to tackle a global education crisis impacting the lives of children and young people around the world, not least in Africa. The Summit paved the way for an unprecedented investment in education, with government representatives and youth leaders from Africa answering the call to join.
