“Learning, if you use it, increases”
This blog takes its title from the Swahili proverb “Wealth, if you use it, comes to an end; learning, if you use it, increases.” This reflects our belief that the capacity for evidence-informed educational decision-making in sub-Saharan Africa is reliant on the recognition and use of the evidence base created by African researchers. In the first of a series of blogs, we introduce and invite readers to participate in a project to explore, collate and spotlight education research in Africa.
