“The success of the African continent in the 21st century—her wealth and welfare—will depend on the ideas and skills of her people. To compete confidently in an age when knowledge is capital and the marketplace is global, quality education must be at the forefront.

That’s 10 percent more than those who expressed such concerns one year earlier. At the same time, young people who would likely be interested in employment opportunities with these providers do not know what jobs exist, how to apply for them or what skills they require.”
