To fully leverage this potential, significant advancements in the continent's education technology (EdTech) sector are crucial. UNESCO has acknowledged Africa as an emerging hub for EdTech. Although funding has slowed recently, the sector is still anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1% by 2026, potentially reaching a value of $457.8 billion. Despite challenges, many innovators remain optimistic about the future, citing potential breakthroughs in e-learning tools and digital infrastructure as key drivers of growth.
