More children and young people in Africa have access to schooling, but unfortunately, being in school does not automatically result in learning at school. The continent faces a “learning crisis” that jeopardizes economic growth and the well-being of its citizens. A robust investment in many aspects of the education system is needed, including effective school leaders across the continent.

Mastercard Foundation

School leadership can be strengthened by providing professional development opportunities for school leaders. Good practices already exist, such as the programme implemented by VVOB and Mastercard Foundation in Rwanda as part of the Leaders in Teaching initiative.
