The Book & Why It Matters
A conversation Africa needs to have.
Africa is producing graduates, yet many businesses still struggle to find people with practical skills, leadership ability, commercial awareness and problem-solving capacity.
Miseducated Africa confronts this disconnect and creates space for a practical conversation on what must change. The launch brought together entrepreneurs, business leaders, educators, policymakers and professionals to address the widening gap between education and entrepreneurship in Africa, and to shape practical solutions that inspire a generation of empowered African entrepreneurs.
