In April, Burkina Faso announced a groundbreaking policy to provide free education from primary school through university, spearheaded by President Ibrahim Traoré. This initiative also includes complimentary textbooks for primary students. The new policy marks a significant stride towards realizing the vision of free education and removing financial barriers for young learners. Advocates believe this shift will empower youth and open personal and professional development doors. However, critics argue that the ambitious nature of this initiative might be unattainable, citing concerns over funding and resource allocation. To delve deeper into the potential implications of this policy for young individuals in Burkina Faso, I’m joined by Dr. Elliot Masocha, a full professor at DeVry University and Keller Graduate School of Management. Dr. Masocha will share his insights on how this transformative policy could reshape the educational landscape and empower the next generation.
