Part of our mission at Actualise Africa is to increase public awareness of the issues concerning our public education system; in particular, the debates and findings of the scholarly community. To this end, we have been published in the regional media such as The East African, continental media such as The Conversation, and global media such as Nature.
Locally we also partner with Kigo Thinkers in organising Thinking Sessions on Educational Quality, and produce policy papers such as these.
