Discussion on Education & Digitisation in Africa Victories and Challenges
summary
Panelists describe concrete projects: developer courses running in Botswana, Zambia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, partners in Malawi using Starlink in Malawi to connect classrooms, and an NFT artist teaching via QR codes, AR and an online academy. Claim: infrastructure, not interest, is the main bottleneck — South African education spends 25,000 rand per student which could fund devices and connectivity. The ecosystem runs 20 global hubs offering free courses and seed grants; one funded team built a Python blockchain course for South Africa and it is already in use.
