We are looking at a 4 or 5 year program where, together with the @MastercardFdn, we want to strengthen the capacity of ministries of education of up to 30 African countries to be able to, as you say, not only collect, manage, but also to use the data for the right purposes of decision making. @ADEAnet #YoungAfricaWorks #EdTechMondays #DataDrivenReforms #AfricaEducation

Today’s panel you will hear from leaders speaking about strengthening data driven decision making to inform better investments in our education across the continent: -Frankline Mukuna, Director of Policy, State Department of TVET, Ministry of Education in Kenya @EduMinKenya -Deborah Kimathi, Education Workforce Initiative and Systems Delivery Lead, Learning Generation Initiative -Shem Bodo @BodoShem - Senior Programs Officer, Association for the Development of Education in Africa @ADEAnet -Efua Gambrah Sampaney, Co-Founder & CTO, Craft Education, Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellow, Ghana #YoungAfricaWorks #DataDriven #AfricaEducation #EdTechAfrica

How is a data strengthening data infrastructure across Africa to support not just the collection, but also the analysis and the use of educational data for policy development? Shem: We @ADEAnet have a very good initiative with the @MastercardFdn. It's called Tackling Education and Skills. Data Challenge in Africa.

So it starts from what are we trying to address and what are the solutions and how does evidence help with that solution? So that's the bridge that is so important, so that you don't have data being collected in one piece, decisions are being made in another piece. So that link is very important.” #YoungAfricaWorks #EdTechMondays #DataDrivenReforms #AfricaEducation

Shem Bodo @BodoShem “The data that we are collecting needs to link up with a challenge or an issue, an educational issue, in the case of education. So, we don't just want to collect data for the sake of it, because when we do that is when we find that we have the data, but we don't see the need for it @ADEAnet #YoungAfricaWorks #EdTechMondays #DataDrivenReforms

@BodoShem is now live discussing data use and governance.

#Tanzania joins a multi-year effort that will support 30 African countries to use quality data to drive better policy, planning, & learning outcomes. When data becomes a habit—not an event—systems start to change. Read more about the ESDC initiative: esdc.adeanet.org

....the effort will strengthen how education data is produced, managed, & used. The first training focused on aligning school‑level data with national, continental, & global frameworks, & on building real analytical skills inside the system. #ESDC #EducationData #ADEA #Tanzania

🇹🇿 #Tanzania has entered the chat on data‑driven education. Last week, @wizara_elimuTz & ADEA kicked off the Tanzania country implementation of the Education & Skills Data Challenge (ESDC) initiative in Morogoro—partnering with Eastern Africa Statistical Centre #EducationData
