SUMMARY:Reconceptualising the learning crisis in Africa: Multi-dimensional 
 pedagogies of accelerated learning programmes
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 18 November 2025\, 13:00-14:00\nREGISTER HERE\nSpeakers
 : Professor Kwame Akyeampong\, The Open University\; and Dr Sean Higgins\,
  University College London Institute of Education\nThis seminar presents t
 he new book by Professor Akyeampong and Dr Higgins\, offering a powerful\,
  post‑colonial rejection of the so‑called global ‘learning crisis’
 . The authors argue that this concept offers deficit models of the experie
 nces\, knowledges\, identities and relationships of African children\, ero
 ding their agency and dignity and undermining their learning opportunities
  and potential.\nThree case studies of accelerated learning programmes for
  out‑of‑school and lower-achieving children in Ethiopia\, Liberia and 
 Ghana illustrate multi‑dimensional models that re‑envision the purpose
 s and pedagogies of basic education\, reconnect with the lived experiences
  of African children and teachers and promote the role of communities in i
 mproving children’s learning.\nMore details on the book can be found her
