The Problem with Manual Admissions  Many universities around the globe still rely heavily on manual, paper-based admissions processes.

One of the most powerful ways to expand access to learning is through online education. And in Africa, where traditional schooling systems face resource constraints, infrastructure deficits and geography challenges, the promise of remote and digital learning is compelling. Yet implementing effective online education in Africa is far from straightforward.   The continent still grapples with major connectivity hurdles that limit how and when students can access educational content.
