The main "bottleneck" for the development of the education sector in African countries is its quality, an official of the Ethiopian Ministry of Education said.
Africa is empowering the quality of education through technology development and cooperation with the Global South, CEO for ICT and Digital Education of Ethiopia's Ministry of Education Zelalem Assefa told Sputnik Africa.
"To improve quality, we need skilled manpower, including instructors, educators, and teachers, leaders. Technology can improve the quality of education by providing input to instructors and access to education," the official pointed out.
Africa already has education partnerships with the Global South, particularly BRICS, the official noted on the sidelines of the Innovation Africa 2025 Ministerial Summit for Education, ICT & Skills held in Addis Ababa.
"We are exchanging information and technologies for the higher education sector and learning experience and doing research together," he noted.
Cooperation with Russia includes scholarships, higher education initiatives, and exploring relevant technologies from Russian technology companies for implementation in Ethiopia, Assefa added.

"It is important for Africa to benefit from itself. And we can even connect education in Africa using AU and become one system," Dr. Benson Banda, Director of the National Science Center, a government education institution under the Zambian Ministry of General Education, stated.
Africa "will be liberated completely" with the technologies of its own and through its rich resources, the official said.
"When they are saying Africa is backwards, it doesn't mean that the brain is backwards. […] We are not that imbalanced. It's a question of how we want to position ourselves in this global arena," he noted.
