ESSA Newsletter: May–June 2026

What does it take to strengthen education systems across Africa? Sometimes it starts with a simple idea. Better decisions require better evidence.

In our latest newsletter, we reflect on a decade of ESSA's work connecting evidence to action and share some of the conversations, partnerships, and initiatives shaping the next chapter.

This edition includes:

  • ESSA at 10: reflecting on a decade of advancing evidence use in African education

  • A major new investment in African-led school leadership research by the African Centre for School Leadership

  • Youth perspectives shaping secondary education research in Ghana

  • Efforts to strengthen research leadership across African universities

  • New discussions on foundational learning and early childhood development, organised with the Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre

  • A conversation on localising education research in Africa

  • Opportunities to engage with upcoming research, events, and consultancy opportunities
