eLearning Africa

Dear eLearning Africa Community,


The conversations sparked at eLearning Africa 2026 continue well beyond Accra. In our first post-conference edition, we share the official Post-Conference Report and the Communiqué from the 18th Ministerial Round Table, while returning to questions raised throughout the programme: who controls Africa’s digital infrastructure, how AI should enter individual classrooms, and how young Africans can help shape the future of EdTech. Together, these pieces connect the conference’s wider outcomes with the practical questions now facing African education systems.

We also announce that the 20th edition of eLearning Africa will take place in Lomé, Togo, from 26–28 May 2027

Opinion: The Infrastructure Deficit Behind Digital Progress

In this opinion piece, Hon. Michael Onyango, a leading African expert on emerging technologies, AI and the future of work, argues that Africa's digital progress cannot be measured by access alone. As AI and compute infrastructure become increasingly central to economic power, he warns that reliance on foreign systems risks repeating historical patterns of economic dependency. He calls for stronger local data capacity, advanced technology skills and regulatory environments that enable African developers to build and scale. Read more here.

Jörg Martin Hartmann of the Goethe-Institut Senegal reflects on how teachers and education professionals mapped the strengths and constraints of their own settings, then designed practical AI applications capable of working within them.
