Africa is an incredibly unique place to study The continent has top class universities, vibrant cultures, and some of the most stunning wildlife and scenery in the world. Students studying natural science or conservation studies have direct access to local communities untouched by the modern world, as well as natural environments rich in biodiversity. But Africa is also a rapidly developing area and many countries are undergoing an unprecedented period of economic growth. One of the main driving forces is the adoption of innovative new technologies, making Africa a perfect destination for tech-savvy students looking to make their marks on the future.

Last November, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published a report on how COVID-19 lockdowns had impacted educational outcomes. Worryingly, it stated students from diverse and less privileged backgrounds were the most likely to fall behind. This is due to several factors, such as fewer support networks, a more disruptive home life, and a lack of access to digital technologies and devices. As such, the OECD made several recommendations to promote equal opportunity, including the rapid and widespread adoption of online learning. Schools, universities, and governments took the OECD's advice on board, and now more people than ever are learning online. And there are many positive signs that this new way of learning is creating a fairer and more equitable learning environment for all students. Here's a news roundup on how digital learning is helping rebuild a more inclusive post-Covid world.
