The Unlocking Data Initiative is a collaborative effort led by the Zizi Afrique Foundation, in partnership with Education Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA), EdTech Hub, Effective Basic Services (eBase), and the University of Malawi’s Center for Educational Research and Training (CERT) to enhance access to and utilisation of education data across Africa. By fostering a community of practice among African scholars, NGOs, national statistics offices, and policymakers, the initiative seeks to improve data availability and analytical capacity, thereby driving educational improvements for young people.
Unlocking Data: Scaling up Uses and Users of Data in Education Systems, is committed to harnessing the power of Foundational Learning data to improve educational outcomes. Through situational analyses, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of foundational learning and identify effective strategies for interventions.
Siloed data hinders progress and therefore we have to build a collaborative data ecosystem to drive evidence-based improvements in foundational learning.
With this in mind, we are pleased to invite you to an insightful conversation that will seek to dive into situational analysis of foundation learning in Kenya, Malawi and Cameroon.
Key Objectives of the Event
- Presenting a situational analysis of foundational learning in Kenya, Malawi and Cameroon.
- Identify data-driven pathways for enhancing foundational learning.
- Foster multi-stakeholder collaboration for evidence-based educational policies and practices.
- Discuss lessons learned from existing foundational learning initiatives, using data to benchmark success, understand challenges, and inform scaling strategies.
