Africa's future depends on the transformative power of higher education – but many barriers remain. With only 9% of African youth enrolled in higher education, compared to a global average of 40%, the continent faces critical challenges such as limited access, infrastructure gaps and insufficient alignment with labour market needs. In 2024, as the African Union celebrates the Year of Education, UNESCO led efforts to address these barriers and unlock Africa's potential. With 75% of Africans under the age of 35, the younger generation holds immense promise to drive economic growth, innovation and sustainable development – if equipped with the right skills. UNESCO organized major events focusing on STEM education, especially for girls, and on strengthening higher education systems to better prepare students for the future. Initiatives, such as the UNESCO-China Funds-in-Trust project, are equipping learners with market-relevant skills and fostering innovation. At the same time, improved quality assurance mechanisms are helping institutions ensure excellence and relevance. Equity and inclusion remain central to these efforts, aiming to reach underrepresented groups such as women and marginalised communities. As Africa's young population continues to grow, investing in education is essential for transforming the continent and empowering its youth to build a better future.
