Quality Education

Quality education is a broad concept that refers to education that effectively equips learners with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes they need to thrive in life, work and society.

It is characterised by the following:

• Learner-Centered Approach
• Qualified and Motivated Educators
• Relevant Curriculum
• Safe and Inclusive Learning Environment
• Adequate Resources and Infrastructure
• Strong Governance and Accountability
• Assessment and Continuous Improvement

Failure in quality education is caused by poor infrastructure, irrelevant curriculum, exclusion, weak governance, low learner engagement and socioeconomic challenges.

Failure in delivering quality education may be caused by lack of resources in schools, underqualified teachers, a curriculum that does not meet learners’ needs, weak governance and socio-economic challenges.

Measuring quality education involves evaluating multiple aspects that reflect how well an education system supports learning, equity and development. 

Here are the key indicators below.

To encourage quality education in all spaces, we must support educators, create safe learning environment, provide meaningful and real-world learning experiences, involve communities and empower students to set their goals through mentorship and positive encouragement.
