In Fast Company Anya Kamenetz reports on a number initiatives that are restructuring education across the continent:
More here...if there's anywhere in the world where free and low-cost online education has the chance to make a transformative impact, it's in Africa, where the demand is huge. Here, a growing network of social entrepreneurs, some African, some foreign, are appropriating free resources produced overseas into a new context: packaging them into a low-cost bundle with moderated discussions, mentorship, and practical experience, sometimes to create complete degree programs, other times on an informal, as-needed basis. It's a unique recipe with a chance to "leapfrog" traditional, complex university infrastructure and succeed, not just in Africa, but around the globe.
