The Event & Why It Matters

A conversation Africa needs to have.

Africa is producing graduates, yet many businesses still struggle to find people with practical skills, leadership ability, commercial awareness and problem-solving capacity.

Miseducated Africa confronts this disconnect and creates space for a practical conversation on what must change. The launch brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, educators, policymakers and professionals to address the widening gap between education and entrepreneurship in Africa, and to shape practical solutions that inspire a generation of empowered African entrepreneurs.

The Book

Miseducated Africa.

Why Africa's Education System Is Failing Entrepreneurs.

In his latest book, Jerry More Nyazungu, the street vendor turned sales trainer known as The Chartered Vendor, asks why a continent full of graduates still struggles to produce people who can sell, lead, solve problems and build businesses. And what educators, employers and government must do about it.

Copies will be available and signed by the author on the night.
