After decades of efforts to foster social and economic development in Africa, leaders are questioning why greater access to education has not significantly transformed opportunities for the continent’s people. The 2nd World Conference on Transformative Education, held in May 2023 in Cape Coast, Ghana, gathered global scholars to explore educational approaches focused on preparing learners for the modern workforce and entrepreneurship while decolonizing education systems. This book views transformative education as a catalyst for innovation and 21st-century development skills. The contributors share research, literature reviews, and strategies for transforming Africa through education, with articles emphasizing curriculum, pedagogy, STEM learning, and communication and professional competency development.
