A new report has put the spotlight on the challenges facing African edtech platforms, despite impressive uptake in urban private schools.

While AI is transforming how students learn, the report warns that systemic issues like internet access and local language support remain barriers.

Hence, Edtech must be more inclusive and locally attuned if it’s going to reach the millions still underserved.

Experts are calling for more government-private sector collaboration to create policies that support universal connectivity and culturally relevant curricula.

Without this, they warn, the continent risks widening the educational divide rather than closing it.
