“Africa’s great changemakers know education is the key to our continent’s prosperity in a global economy. “The Africa Education Medal not only honours those seeking to improve education across Africa, it gives them a platform to amplify their voices and inspire others to follow their examples,” Pulford said. Founder and Chief Executive Officer, T4 Education, Vikas Pota, maintained that quality education would help African countries grow and prosper. Nominees must demonstrate their contribution in some key areas, such as significantly improving learning outcomes, promoting girls’ education, promoting equity and broadening access to education, advancing pedagogical or technological innovation, building and strengthening educators’ capacity, among others. The Top 10 finalists for the award would be announced in July, while the winner will be announced in September.
