The Africa Stocktaking Report highlights a serious gap.
Most children in schools across Africa are not learning basic skills at the right age.
This is a learning crisis for all children, but its consequences are not equal.
When foundational skills are missed, girls are more likely to face compounding barriers that affect their education, opportunities, and long-term economic participation.

The goal is simple: better learning outcomes for every child across the continent.
