The sessions were structured to enable the young participants not just to learn but to apply their knowledge immediately.<br \/>Mercy Frank, Convener of Africa Future Framers, said that the initiative was inspired by the growing desire among young Africans to take charge of their own future.<br \/>\u201cYoung Africans are not waiting for the future; they want to build it, and we are handing them the tools to solve the problems in their communities and beyond,\u201d she said.<br \/>Frank noted that as Nigeria begins implementing its updated education curriculum, which introduces subjects such as digital literacy, coding, and entrepreneurship, many schools still lack trained teachers to effectively deliver them.<br \/>\u201cWe spotted that gap. So we tapped into our network of experienced professionals who volunteer their time to teach these subjects and mentor students in underserved areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>, Education \u2013 THISDAYLIVE, November 5, 2025, 8:11 am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa Future Framers Empowers Underserved Teens, Students to Become Innovators, , Funmi Ogundare More than 1,500 teenagers and university students from underserved communities in Lagos recently participated in the inaugural Africa Future Framers Festival, which aimed to equip young Africans with the skills and mindset to dream, design, and drive transformation across the continent.The five-hour [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-school-matters"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
