I joined the ALforEducation Apprenticeship as part of a growing cohort of young Africans passionate about transforming education on the continent. The experience began with a month-long online immersion into education systems across Africa—exploring what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible.

This wasn’t just coursework—it was deep reflection, community dialogue, and rigorous thinking about how to make education relevant, inclusive, and future-fit. We learned from practitioners, built real-world problem-solving skills, and grounded ourselves in the urgency of educational transformation.

Next, I’ll be placed with a partner organization to carry out an innovation project. It’s a chance to take everything we’ve discussed—equity, access, relevance—and apply it in practice. I’m excited to co-create solutions that don’t just add to the conversation but shift what’s possible for learners across the continent.
