Held under the theme “Educate an African fit for the 21st Century: Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa,” the session aims to address critical issues in education across the continent.
The primary objective of this meeting, as outlined by the AU, is to deliberate on various draft reports and formulate the agenda for the Forty-Fourth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council, scheduled to convene on 14-15 February 2024, also in Addis Ababa.
