In Africa, the continent home to the largest youth population in the world, educators face a critical challenge: how to teach an ever-growing number of students using limited resources while also helping young people develop skills for the future.
Entrepreneurship has proven to be a successful practice for funding education while also giving students and out-of-school youth a platform for gaining real-life professional experience.
Now, organisations providing young people with hands-on business experience or using community-based business solutions to fund education have the chance to win $15,000 USD for their work through the Pan-African Awards for Enterprise in Education.
op Prize – $15,000
2 Runner Up Prizes – $5,000
Future Partner Prize – $5,000
All winners will also win a fully funded spot for one delegate at our annual Education That Pays conference.
The main features of projects and programmes we award are:
Entrepreneurial – tackling problems in education by teaching, training and empowering young people through hands-on entrepreneurial experience or generating income to fund education.
Sustainable – generates funding beyond donations and subsidies as a primary source of income, able to retain and grow participants and promotes environmental protection.
Create Impact – demonstrate measurable results for educational achievement and economic outcomes for participants and the wider community.
Experiential – provide students with hands-on experience in a live environment.
Accepting entries until August 14 2018
Winners will be announced in mid-September 2018
