Why: The Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 16-25) was developed as a
strategic intervention for the realisation of the African Union’s vision for
education as articulated in Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want.
CESA’s mission is to “reorient Africa’s education and training systems to meet the knowledge, competencies, skills innovation and creativity required to nurture African core values and promote sustainable development at the national, sub-regional and continental levels”. Agenda 2063 calls for universal access to quality early childhood, primary and secondary education, ensuring that no child is left behind, and that the potential of every child is nurtured.
CESA16-25 identifies pre-primary education as a neglected sub-sector that deserves special attention. It clearly states that Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) is the pillar for future learning and identifies it as the next frontier if Africa is to realize sustained quality education and training. To implement the continental framework, the African Union Commission has adopted as Implementation Platform, a Coalition of stakeholders covering all thematic areas in education and training as identified in the CESA Strategic Objectives
