Episode 11 Africa has the youngest population in the world, and the billion-dollar market for digital learning and education technologies is on the rise. Locally developed e-learning solutions will be the future of education in Africa, says Given Edward, the head of edtech venture Mtabe, as this year’s lockdowns have shown that learning happens beyond the classroom. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of when.
