AGP Executive Report
Last update: 30 minutes agoUniversity Research: African universities need stronger links between research and practical solutions, while South African academics debate whether the NRF’s researcher-rating system should be abolished or reformed. Critics say pre-filled applications do little to ease the workload on reviewers. Curriculum & Campuses: Scholars say decolonising university curricula means grounding reforms in African realities. Commentary on Egypt’s expanding campus network also raises questions about who sets the rules when disputes arise. School Conditions: Malawi’s Chatata Primary School received desks and stationery to ease shortages. In Liberia, 1,500 pupils face overcrowding and too few chairs. South Africa’s Umalusi says matric exams are ready despite marker shortages and warns schools not to exclude weaker learners. Learning & Teaching: Ghanaian concern over weak foundational learning and reports that nine in ten African children cannot read underline the scale of the challenge; calls to invest more in teachers point to a key part of the response.
