Preamble:
Recognizing the indispensable role of education in driving socio-economic development and the necessity of aligning educational progress with Africa’s broader development agenda, the 3rd Africa Education Summit convened at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, from April 3-5, 2025. This summit brought together policymakers, educators, researchers, development partners, and other stakeholders to discuss strategies for harnessing educational advancements to foster sustainable continental development.
Acknowledging:
The African Union’s Agenda 2063, which envisions a prosperous Africa driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena. The need for a holistic, inclusive, and innovative approach to education that ensures equitable access, quality, and relevance to the demands of the contemporary workforce.
The importance of strategic investments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), vocational training, and digital literacy as key enablers of economic transformation.
The urgent necessity of harmonizing educational policies across African nations to facilitate regional integration and workforce mobility. The role of public-private partnerships in strengthening education systems and fostering innovation for sustainable development. The challenges posed by socio-economic disparities, infrastructure deficits, and emerging global disruptions, which require a concerted effort to mitigate their impact on education.

African governments and educational institutions shall work towards harmonizing curricula and certification systems to enable seamless academic and professional mobility across the continent. Establish regional education hubs to facilitate knowledge-sharing, innovation, and research collaborations.
