Technology has been used in a variety of situations in our daily lives; however, across Africa, the use of tech-aided education isn’t as ubiquitous as we would like it to be.

Today, there are numerous technologies that are sources of learning, teaching, and communication between teachers, students, and mentors, making education more accessible and efficient.

So what does the future of education look like? What is the potential impact? what’s hindering this? Join us in this edition of the Catalyst, where the topic of discussion will be What's Next, EdTech: Accelerating the application of tech in education across Africa.
