If the huge demand for education that exists across Africa is to be met, it will require new and entrepreneurial models which can be replicated and taken to scale. ThePan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education seek to identify the very best organizations which have risen to this challenge; to highlight their models, and to reward their achievements. This initiative will look for the very best programs and models for education. - Organizations which are entrepreneurial: developing innovative, replicable & scalable approaches to tackling entrenched problems in education; empowering future generations of entrepreneurs - Programs which are sustainable: financially, socially and environmentally; looking beyond donations and subsidies as the primary means of creating positive social and environmental outcomes - Inititiatives that create impact: achieving measurable results in terms of educational achievement and economic outcomes for participants and their communities Organizations running such programs can be found across Africa; driven by social entrepreneurs who understand the role education can play within their communities in creating positive social change. All too often, however, these programs never receive the true recognition they deserve. The Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education represent a small step forward in terms of drawing international attention to their achievements.
