Public-private partnerships are often positioned as the key drivers to scaling EdTech solutions. But too often, they remain short-term, donor-driven, and disconnected from policy and national systems.

If these public-private partnerships are to truly transform education across the continent, they must go beyond collaboration in principle to shared accountability in practice.

This edition of #EdTechMondays Africa focuses on game-changing partnerships that seek to connect African classrooms ensuring equitable and quality learning for all. 

Panelists:

  • Sylvia Mulinge, CEO MTN Uganda
  • Bella Rwigamba, Chief Digital Officer, Ministry of Education, Rwanda
