S03E80 IDP's model for sustaining access to quality education in low-fee non-state schools

Access to quality education remains one of Africa's greatest challenges. Not because schools are unavailable, but because affordability, financing, and long-term sustainability continue to limit learning opportunities for millions of children across the continent.In this episode, Senyo speaks with Irene, founder of the IDP Foundation and author of The School in the Market, about IDP's approach to strengthening low-fee non-state schools through sustainable financing. They discuss the role of governments, philanthropy, and local entrepreneurship in expanding access to quality education, as well as practical lessons for those seeking to replicate this model in other contexts.
