AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Global Education & Representation: The UN General Assembly backed the African Union-led “Correct the Map” resolution, voting 164–1 (with the US opposing) to encourage schools, governments and tech firms to use more accurate equal-area projections like Equal Earth instead of the Mercator map that makes Africa look far smaller; Togo’s foreign minister Robert Dussey said maps shape education and perceptions, and the AU called it a step toward fairer global representation. Assessment & Exams (Ghana): WAEC reported WASSCE 2026 entry rose to 512,862 candidates (+11.07%); Social Studies led with 78.04% scoring A1–C6, but English Language fell to 62.40%—and WAEC cancelled results of 8,295 candidates over irregularities (unauthorised materials or phones). Women’s Health (South Africa): A policy push argues SRHR must move from rhetoric to properly financed, measurable services, warning that financing gaps—not just laws—are blocking progress. Anti-Corruption (South Africa): The Asset Forfeiture Unit recovered R519m in corruption-linked assets, with calls to prosecute those enabling graft.
