@MamaFatimaS Good luck @MamaFatimaS. Wishing you all the best in your new endeavor!

[Tajebe Dessalegn @TajebeD]

@AberaLucas Got it, thanks.
By the way, my original question - what is your best example of an updated education system in Africa - was to mean which African country has the best edu system

[Tajebe Dessalegn @TajebeD]

Sure, time to update the way we teach. What is your best example of an updated education system in Africa?

[UNICEF Education @UNICEFEducation]

Young people of the 21st century need 21st century skills to make the transition from #education to employment. #YouthSkills

It’s time to update the way we teach. Please Retweet.

[Tajebe Dessalegn @TajebeD]

@AberaLucas I didn't make any recommendation here. Just wondering how might we update the education system.

[Tajebe Dessalegn @TajebeD]

@AberaLucas Ideally yes - but looks hard to realize such a system given current context. Let's take the case with teachers alone. Ample researches found out that most teachers are incompetent already without minimal skills & motivation to teach.

“Well I am telling you there is hope. I have seen it.
But it does not come from governments or corporations.
It comes from the people.”
