Quality

Investment in faculty has a low profile. This area focuses on improving the quality of university and college education. Evidence shows that Africa has a faculty shortage, with 50% more students per professor compared to the global average. The shortage of faculty has an impact on course quality and relevance.

To address this issue, we connect evidence on delivering quality education with education leaders and policymakers. We ensure that investments to transform universities and colleges are based on data and insightful analysis.
