Abstract:
: Africa’s growing youth population, expected to surpass 850 million by 2050, presents a serious challenge along with a major opportunity for progress. This chapter explains how improving education through process automation, which involves digital tools like artificial intelligence, online platforms, and real-time data systems, can help turn African youth into informed, skilled, and responsible leaders. Case studies from countries such as Estonia, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Rwanda, Nigeria, and Kenya show that automation can raise learning standards, improve transparency, and strengthen democratic involvement. Education technology not only improves how teaching happens but also provides valuable data to guide inclusive policy planning. While there are concerns like unequal digital access, biased algorithms, and weak data protection, the chapter offers policy steps to manage these risks responsibly. In the end, it suggests that education should support not just jobs, but also active citizenship and sustainable progress by helping young people lead in the digital era.
