Why this framework exists
A living reference before a shared proposal
The first objective is to document what African countries currently teach using current national sources. Reliable comparison can then reveal common strengths, important gaps, and where a future African common learning framework may be useful. A shared framework should connect national systems—not replace their languages, histories, cultures, or authority. At every level, education should also help learners understand how knowledge, skills, institutions, and civic responsibility strengthen personal security, national capability, sovereignty, and constructive patriotism. It should develop the critical literacy to recognize exploitation, manipulation, corruption, and unequal power—without turning education into propaganda.
- Parents and students moving between African countries.
- Teachers comparing subject sequences and learning expectations.
- Universities and employers interpreting unfamiliar school qualifications.
- Governments identifying curriculum gaps, duplication, and successful reforms.
- Researchers tracking curriculum changes over time.
- Publishers and education-technology developers localizing materials correctly.
- Curriculum designers eventually developing a shared African learning framework.
Separate private-education layer
African Private School Almanac
Every country page reserves a distinct area for private education. Schools may apply to publish factual institutional and curriculum details after review. Paid placement is always separated from national curriculum evidence and from editorial verification.
Initial listings should be reviewed by the almanac. A later school login should create drafts and revisions only; publication remains subject to review and a version history.
Free, paid, featured, and sponsored listings must be visibly distinguished. School-submitted claims remain separate from independently verified and official-source facts.
Advertisers must substantiate their own institutional credibility. Read the advertising and school-listing policy ↓
National curriculum pages
All 54 African countries have an individual page. Regular pre-college flow and technical or trade routes are kept separate. Official government curricula come first; private-school curricula remain out of scope.

Source Verification Quality
The quality column rates the evidence trail, not the school system. A row becomes Official only after a named reviewer confirms a ministry, curriculum agency, or official syllabus PDF.
Editorial source intake
Editors manually capture official links as candidate records. A country name does not search the web or retrieve a curriculum. Every row stays Review needed until a human reviewer confirms it and records who checked it. Contact trails live in Correspondence.txt.
Country Comparison
Compare currently documented country records side-by-side. Empty gaps identify research that is still pending.

How curriculum records are structured A plain-language glossary of the fields visitors see
This is documentation, not a set of buttons. The complete editorial and review schema remains in the protected research workspace.
- Country
- The national education system represented by the record.
- Local grade
- The country’s own label, such as Grade 7, Basic 7, JSS 2, or Form 4.
- ISCED level
- An international comparison bridge: primary, lower secondary, or upper secondary.
- English comparison
- A plain-language guide to the level, never a replacement for the local grade.
- Typical age
- The usual learner age range, with uncertainty stated where sources differ.
- Subject
- The normalized subject category together with the local syllabus title.
- Teaching languages
- Languages officially used or offered for instruction, including documented alternatives.
- Examination body
- The relevant national or regional examination authority or qualification system.
- Curriculum year
- The publication or revision year stated by the official source.
- Learning practice
- Whether learning includes theory, activities, laboratory work, workshops, fieldwork, projects, or practicum.
- Source status
- Official, Exam-board, Review needed, Unverified, or Outdated—the label rates the evidence trail, not the education system.
- Source link
- A direct ministry, curriculum-agency, or examination-authority page when available.
- Verified by
- The named human reviewer, or a clear statement that review is still pending.
- Last checked
- The date the source was reviewed for changes or replacement documents.
