Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education 2018/2019
The Pan African Awards is an annual competition run with the generous support of The Saville Foundation. The competition seeks out the very best organisations who are using enterprise and entrepreneurship to innovate in the field of education in Africa.
Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education 2018/2019.
The Saville Foundation is now accepting submissions for its 2018 Pan-African Awards for Entrepreneurship in Education. Deadline for submission application is August 14th, 2018.
In Africa, the continent home to the largest youth population in the
world, educators face a critical challenge: how to teach an ever-growing
number of students using limited resources while also helping young
people develop skills for the future.
Entrepreneurship has proven
to be a successful practice for funding education while also giving
students and out-of-school youth a platform for gaining real-life
professional experience.
Now, organisations providing young people
with hands-on business experience or using community-based business
solutions to fund education have the chance to win $15,000 USD for their
work through the Pan-African Awards for Enterprise in Education.
