Africa produces millions of graduates every year. Too few of them are equipped to lead, build, or drive economic outcomes in their communities. The gap is not intelligence — it is a structural failure in how education is designed and delivered.

In this session, Ajayi Raphael Temitope draws from his experience co-founding Noble Learn School of Tech and his current role as Country Manager at Swanfield Business School to challenge the traditional model of education — and present a framework for building institutions that connect learning directly to business outcomes, employment, and entrepreneurship.

Attendees will leave with a clear lens for evaluating education systems as economic infrastructure — and practical insight into what it takes to build or transform one.
