In our recent #LifeSkills poll, creative thinking came out on top with 33.9% of responses, ahead of problem-solving (32.3%), self-awareness (24.2%), and collaboration (9.7%). Encouragingly, parents do not need special materials to nurture creative thinking. Everyday stories, chores, discarded boxes, bottle tops, and simple household problems can all give children the space to imagine, experiment, and discover different ways of doing things. We thank you for this feedback. #LifeSkills #FoundationaLearning

826 million people still live in extreme poverty. In dozens of countries, extreme poverty rates remain above 40%—and progress among the poorest populations has slowed sharply. Why the $3-a-day benchmark still matters: blogs.worldbank.org/en/opend…

South Africa's unemployment rate remains above 33%, highlighting the scale of the country's jobs challenge. But Cape Town is emerging as one of Africa's fastest-growing startup ecosystems, with entrepreneurs turning to new businesses as a potential source of jobs and economic growth. The city recently hosted GEC+Africa, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers to explore ways of helping small businesses overcome barriers to funding, networks and growth.

I've been following a recent report on Uganda's research-to-industry gap, and it echoes exactly what I've been arguing in a recent thread on the PhD debate. The numbers are sobering. Uganda is targeting a $700B economy by 2040, backed by six of Africa's top 15 universities and an estimated $150B generated through university research. Yet less than 5% of that research output is ever commercialised, and 80-90% doesn't even respond to industry's actual needs. newvision.co.ug/category/new…

News: Less than 5% of Ugandan university research reaches industry

The concern comes as the Government seeks to use science, technology and innovation (STI) as a major engine of economic transformation under the proposed National STI Policy.

Lifelong learning does not become real through ambition alone. It depends on access, financing, quality, coordination and social dialogue — the things that make learning possible in practice. ILO report explains: ow.ly/vO3E50YUuGF
