Introduction[edit]
Education is a cornerstone of individual and societal development.

This introductory section explores the historical context and current trends in educational access for this critical demographic group in Africa
Historical Context[edit]
Before the colonial period, African education systems were highly diverse across different areas. Traditional education typically emphasized practical skills, cultural understanding, and social duties.[1] Colonial rulers established formal education systems, yet these frequently favored boys' education and maintained existing inequalities.[2]
