“This report investigates and analyses the results of 2.1 million adults who took our EF SET English tests in 2021,” the statement reads.“Africa’s English proficiency remained steady this year with no countries changing proficiency band. “Of the countries which have been in the index for at least five years, only Algeria, Nigeria and Tunisia have made significant gains.”
The report found that Nigeria still has a significant gender gap, with women enjoying a slight advantage.“Men’s English caught up to women’s in Africa for the first time this year, but the regional average masks the fact that a majority of countries still have a significant gender gap ,” the report reads.
“Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda and Ghana have among the widest gender gaps in the world in favor of women, while Uganda and Tunisia have among the widest in favor of men.”
