[allAfrica] 2024 is the African Union year of Education, but when we step into a classroom and see more than a hundred students to one teacher, our hearts sink. Of course, we will see angelic smiling children having fun with their friends and learning new social skills.

But most in this situation will not learn the critical skills to contribute sufficiently to their own, and Africa's future development.
