Abstract
The potential of African countries is very high, including natural resources, demographic bonuses, agriculture, tourism, and rapid technological developments. These various potentials can be maximized to improve the quality of life in the community. Education as one of the keys to improving the quality of human resources plays an important role in maximizing this potential. However, it is not easy to develop education in Africa. There are various kinds of challenges and obstacles that must be overcome first. This paper will generally discuss education as a key approach to improving the quality of human resources in Africa along with the challenges and solutions that can be carried out jointly by the government and the world community at large
Keywords: education in Africa, better education, economic growth
