So the thing that makes education in Africa is all the challenges they face: say for example, language barriers. It speaks for itself don't you think? Although UNESCO have recommended since the 1950s that the children be taught early literacy in their mother tongue, progressing later to other language such English and French, not all African countries implement this effectively. The students are basically forced to switch to languages such as English and French before acquiring proficiency in these languages.
Next is the lack of proper facilities and educators. Africa has trouble employing teachers because of low pay and no suitable people can be found for the job. This shows a lack of equal education opportunity given to children from different parts of the same country.
They also have trouble with emigration: it leads to a loss of highly educated people and financial loss. There's not much to type about this except: the loss of skilled people can only be replaced with another huge cost which simply the loss of money spent for educating people who then leave and new people to replace them. Even though an almost 5.5 percent of GDP investment in education, the loss makes it difficult for the government to budget another amount into education, while they should be focusing more on military budget and dept servicing.
Lastly is the military and conflict in Africa. While the number of people dropping out of school has been increasing very dramatically, one of the influences on education is the diversion of public funds from education to the military spending; that and with the civil war, nobody really thinks about education and just kind of ignores it.
I honestly don't know much about this, as I am still learning about it, but I hope this helped you with you're work or something. Teach you soon! Bye!
