Education news and updates from Africa Daily Insight

Find clear, current coverage of schools, universities, policies and programs across Africa. This page gathers reporting on governance, inclusive programs, academic leaders, and opportunities for students and staff. Use it to spot trends, follow decisions that affect education budgets, and see stories that matter in classrooms and campuses.

Recent posts you should read now include three pieces with direct impact. President Tinubu has named new governing council chairmen and members for several federal universities in Nigeria. That story explains who was appointed and why these roles matter for university management and accreditation. Another post shares success from Newcastle City Learning, where a supported internship program for young adults with learning disabilities and autism completed its first year. The piece shows how workplace training and tailored support helped graduates move into jobs and build skills. We also remember Professor Ayo Banjo, former Vice‑Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, who died at 90. The obituary outlines his major contributions to Nigerian higher education and the awards he received.

If you are a student, researcher or educator, use these tips to get the most from this category. Bookmark articles on policy changes that affect tuition, admission rules or staff hiring. Look for stories about internships, training programs and inclusive education to find real opportunities. Scan obituaries and profiles to learn from the careers of leaders and to spot institutions with strong academic histories.

For school leaders and administrators, watch for governance reports and appointments. Changes to councils or leadership often mean shifts in strategy, funding priorities, and partnerships. When a new council is named, check the linked official announcements, university notices, and any coverage of statutory duties. That helps you understand timelines for reforms or new initiatives.

Want practical updates? We add exams, scholarship alerts and program launches when they happen. If you work with students who need extra support, follow our inclusive education tag for stories on internships, assistive programs and local services. We highlight programs that remove barriers and create real pathways to employment.

Stay with us for steady, readable coverage that focuses on decisions, programs and people shaping education in Africa.

How we report

We verify official statements, cross-check university announcements and contact sources when possible. For appointments and governance stories we compare press releases, government gazettes and university circulars. For program and internship reports we speak with organisers, participants and local employers to show outcomes and next steps.

Find opportunities

Look for tags like scholarships, internships, governance and inclusive-education to filter stories. Use the search box to find posts by institution or program. If you are an employer or trainer, list openings and future courses; we often link to contact pages so candidates can apply directly.
