World Bank Group #YouthActOnEDU Spoken Word Competition 2022

World Bank Group #YouthActOnEDU Spoken Word Competition 2022

Over the next three years, a new World Bank regional education plan for Western and Central Africa specifies priority areas, guiding principles, and policy alternatives to assist countries in increasing access to education and enhancing learning quality. The strategy focuses on the similar difficulties within a vastly diverse region and encompasses all aspects of education, including formal and informal education, technical and vocational education, and higher education. It chooses interventions based on their potential to have the greatest impact in three years, drawing on lessons gained and best practices from the area and around the world.

The World Bank Group wants to hear from YOU! We are launching a poetry competition to showcase the importance of education and access to quality learning for young people in Western and Central Africa.

Share a creative, inspiring, and artistic 1-minute video of yourself reciting YOUR ORIGINAL POEM for the chance to get featured on our social media channels.

Through poetry, show and tell us how can education unlock you potential and/or impact your community?
