The Business Coalition for Education (BCE) brings together private-sector leaders committed to ensuring every child in Africa acquires the skills to learn, lead, and thrive.
A young, dynamic, ambitious generation is ready to learn—but millions still lack access to foundational skills, digital literacy, and pathways to economic participation. The Business Coalition for Education (BCE) brings together private-sector leaders committed to ensuring every child in Africa acquires the skills to learn, lead, and thrive in the 21st century.
Over 90% of African children cannot read or understand a simple story by age 10. Millions complete school without functional literacy, numeracy, or digital skills. Teachers face inadequate training, large class sizes, and limited resources.
Less than 40% of African learners have meaningful internet access. EdTech solutions exist, but scale and affordability remain major barriers.
Africa’s growing population needs a workforce ready for: Tech-enabled jobs, Green and Blue Economy Opportunities, Creative and Digital Industries, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
BCE turns corporate commitment into collective action, shared investments, and sustainable results.
