AfDB spends $2 billion to train 6 million African scientists
The African Development Bank says it has committed $2 billion to the education and training of six million science students in Africa from 2005 to date.
“Since 2005, we have provided financing of over two billion dollars to support education; this has provided educational opportunities for six million students. He said the bank supported the establishment of the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology in Egypt, the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, and the African University of Science and Technology in Nigeria.
“As we look toward the future, I would like to suggest seven key areas to prioritise on Africa’s drive-in science and technology. “We must close the gender gap in higher education and strongly support more female students to go into science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
