Top 10 African countries with the lowest education levels 2024

Economic expansion, social change, and sustainable development all depend on education. However, several African countries struggle to attain high levels of education, which hinders their advancement on a number of developmental fronts.

To overcome developmental obstacles, African countries must address poor education levels, which are typified by low literacy rates and short school years.

These nations find it difficult to satisfy the demands of contemporary economies without enough investment in education, which results in a cycle of poverty and restricted prospects.

Additionally, productivity is hampered as both domestic and international investment is deterred by this lack of educational readiness.

Human capital is one of a country’s most precious assets, which on a side note is also characterized by IQ levels.

A population with lower IQ development is often linked to low levels of education. Countries that struggle with this confront difficulties in starting enterprises, obtaining investments, and developing technologies to enhance living conditions.

With that said, here are the top 10 African countries with the lowest education levels according to Data Panda, which measures education levels considering literacy rates, and years of schooling.
