Higher education in Africa has seen significant growth over the past few decades, with an increasing number of universities and colleges established across the continent. This expansion aims to meet the rising demand for skilled professionals in various fields, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Many countries are investing in higher education to enhance economic development and improve access to quality education. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and disparities in access between urban and rural areas. Organizations like the African Union and UNESCO are working to address these issues and promote collaboration among institutions to improve the quality of higher education across Africa.
