Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At the UN General Assembly leaders from African governments September 21 showcased commitment to better the continent\u2019s education, in a resolve to address the bloc\u2019s learning crisis marked by 9 out of 10 children unable to read and understand a sentence by age 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is a key catalyst to resolve many of the challenges faced by our continent. Every child deserves quality education, and this can only be achieved if we all take responsibility and invest in foundational literacy and numeracy wherever we are,\u201d said founder and Human Capital Africa (HCA) director Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the HCA roundtable during the Assembly in New York, Ezekwesili warned that ignoring Africa\u2019s education crisis would throw devastating ripple effects to nations with giant economies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSetting the right foundations for learning during the early years, before the child ends grades 2 and 3, is fundamental. This is a challenge we can solve, and we can change the situation faster than we imagine if we are all coordinated. I am inspired by the leadership being demonstrated by African governments,\u201d he added in his appeal for foundational learning to enhancing education.<\/p>\n

Attendees of the roundtable discussion also included Uganda\u2019s junior education minister Dr Joyce Moriku.<\/p>\n

\u201cUganda has moved from pledging to a human capital investment scorecard to ensure data collection to inform policy decisions. More investments should be made and there is a need to learn from homegrown solutions to fix the learning crisis,\u201d she told the gathering.<\/p>\n

Considering the global perspective, without new measures, only one country in six will reach the global goal of universal access to secondary education by 2030, and 84 million children will not attend school, a report released in 2023 by the UN showed.<\/p>\n

But Kaducu said: “Ultimately, Uganda aims to establish a system capable of understanding classroom needs, implementing structured pedagogical interventions, observing progress and adjusting interventions based on the system\u2019s reaction, and maintaining regular accountability to the targets we set to improve Foundational Literacy and Numeracy outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The HCA scorecard will be launched in many new countries and global sub regions over the coming months, ahead of the African Year of Education in 2024.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the African Ministerial Coalition on Foundational Learning, convened by HCA and ADEA, will continue to share knowledge and showcase success to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
