Who is this Townhall meant for?
The AI for Education in Africa Townhall Series, organized by Rise Networks, is a groundbreaking convening designed to spark dialogue, collaboration and action at the intersection of education and artificial intelligence across the continent.
Africa is poised to leverage its enormous youth population, but this demographic dividend is constrained by educational disparities, from teacher shortages and infrastructure gaps to the digital skills divide. This series brings together policymakers, educators, technologists, researchers, students and industry leaders to explore how machine intelligence can reshape classrooms, teaching methods and learning outcomes.
As Africa navigates the rapid transformation of its education systems, this series is an action-oriented platform designed to move beyond theoretical discussions to co-create implementable policy frameworks and cross-border pilot programs.
Purpose
To examine how AI can bridge gaps in access, quality and equity in African education.
To highlight opportunities for reimagining the classroom experience from traditional chalkboards to intelligent, adaptive learning systems.
To foster cross-sector partnerships that ensure Africa’s learners are not left behind in the global digital revolution.
Objectives
The future of education is being rewritten by technology. Chatbots, intelligent tutoring systems, and data-driven insights are redefining how knowledge is delivered and consumed. For Africa with its youthful population, diverse cultures, and unique challenges AI presents both an urgent necessity and an unprecedented opportunity to leapfrog traditional barriers.
