Save the date: publication launch ‘Trends in Adult Learning and Education in Africa’ (15/16 April 2020)

The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and the African Union (AU) cordially invite you to the launch of the report Trends in Adult Learning and Education in Africa – Findings from the Fourth Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE 4) via webinars on 15 April (English) and 16 April 2020 (French). Findings of the African GRALE 4 report will be presented and discussed with key stakeholders from the African continent.

The report Trends in Adult Learning and Education in Africa was compiled on the basis of GRALE 4 [2] and provides a regional snapshot of adult learning and education based on data and information provided by 40 countries of the continent. It reports how far the recommendations of the Belém Framework for Action and the Recommendation on Adult Learning and Education have been implemented on the African continent.

The report makes clear that without a sea-change in political will and resourcing, the potential contribution of adult learning and education to giving us the key tools – economic, social, technological, even ethical – to take on and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals will remain unrealized.

The African GRALE 4 report provides valuable insight for governments, education experts and policy-makers in African Member States to monitor and accelerate progress towards not only SDG 4, but also the whole sustainable development agenda, with equity and especially inclusion – to leave no one behind – as measures of overall success.
