🎉Congratulations to IPNEd MP Hon. Harry Kamboni for being appointed Minister of Education in Zambia.

Minister Kamboni has been an IPNEd parliamentary champion for 3 years, leading the first parliamentary inquiry of its kind on foundational learning.

Across Africa, education financing is being made challenging due to rising youth populations, debt, climate shocks and other constraints.

MPs, government officials and experts explored solutions at the 5th Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange Symposium in Kenya last week.

The 2026 Foundational Learning Action Tracker has been launched by @UNICEF and the Hempel Foundation, showing improvements in foundational learning across 52 African countries.

But, the report shows more needs to be done to turn assessment data into better teaching and learning.
