Higher Education in Sub-Saharan AfricaHigher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (Bachelor of Science, Masters, Doctorates)In 2014 in Sub-Saharan Africa, the higher education gross enrolment rate (Bachelors, masters and doctorates) did not exceed 8%, well behind South Asia (23%, the second lowest regional average), and the world average (3.4%).
If the African countries wish to prosper in their participation in the global economy, Investment in higher education in Africa is crucial.
The African countries should invest in secondary and tertiary education and expand lifelong learning opportunities to increase the value-added activities in industry and services.
Raising the level of the tertiary education by one year on average would improve long-term GDP levels in sub-Saharan Africa by 16% and increase growth through technological convergence of 0.06 percentage points per year (Bloom et al., 2014).
