Makes education systems responsive to the learning needs of children and youth
Inclusive Quality Education
Focused on understanding how to make education systems responsive to the learning needs of children and youth from diverse backgrounds.
This involves addressing issues of quality, equity, and equality in education across various dimensions such as education in emergencies, special needs education, urban education, out-of-school children and youth, teaching effectiveness, learning outcomes and assessment, foundational skills, children farthest left behind in schooling opportunities, and building education system resilience during and after emergencies (such as COVID-19).
Gender and Education
Examines how education systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) respond to gender disparities and needs in education.
This includes addressing issues of gender equity and equality, girls, and women’s education, including in STEM, sexuality education, and adolescent schooling, and policies and practices that promote gender equality, gender-friendly schools and curriculum, and engendered-teacher development programs, among others.
Youth and Transition to Work
Investigates pathways to the world of work among young people in SSA.
This includes addressing issues of positive youth development, youth empowerment and skills development, skills-building and training systems and the future of work, apprenticeship programs for young people, and demand-driven training for the future of work.
Education and Technology
Understanding how countries in SSA could leverage education technology to solve existing and emerging educational challenges.
This will include, but not be limited to, addressing EdTech in contemporary learning spaces, the future of physical classrooms, the digital divide, EdTech, and emergencies (e.g., COVID-19), virtual learning technology, innovative pedagogies, curriculum alignment to technology, and student learning.
