In this episode, we explore an often-overlooked issue—how boys are faring in Africa’s education systems. With Dr. Tadeus Shikukumwa, we examine how cultural expectations, gender norms, and limited emotional support shape boys’ learning experiences and outcomes. From redefining masculinity to rethinking parental, school, and policy roles, this conversation challenges us to design education systems that uplift both boys and girls—ensuring no child is left behind in Africa’s pursuit of true educational equity.
