Harnessing	
  Innova-on	
  for	
  wider	
  
Educa-onal	
  Integra-on	
  
EGK13,	
  Addis	
  Ababa,	
  Ethiopia.	
  
	
  
By:	
  Oforiwa	
  MacCarthy,	
  CEO	
  Africa	
  New	
  Media	
  
“I	
  am	
  an	
  educated	
  African,	
  out	
  of	
  Africa,	
  back	
  in	
  
Africa”	
  
	
  
	
  
The	
  African	
  Diaspora	
  is	
  broadly	
  defined	
  by	
  the	
  
African	
  Union	
  Commission	
  as	
  "peoples	
  of	
  African	
  
origin	
  living	
  outside	
  the	
  con5nent,	
  irrespec5ve	
  of	
  
their	
  ci5zenship	
  and	
  na5onality	
  and	
  who	
  are	
  
willing	
  to	
  contribute	
  to	
  the	
  development	
  of	
  the	
  
con5nent	
  and	
  the	
  building	
  of	
  the	
  African	
  Union.”

  a	
  wealth	
  of

and	
  innova-on	
  that	
  is	
  needed	
  to	
  push	
  Africa	
  
forwards.	
  
	
  
	
  
 
The	
  ques(on	
  is:	
  	
  
	
  
How	
  do	
  we	
  resonate	
  Africa	
  in	
  them,	
  to	
  inspire	
  
them	
  to	
  return	
  home?	
  And	
  furthermore,	
  u-lize	
  
their	
  ideas	
  in	
  educa-ng	
  Africa?	
  
The	
  answer	
  is	
  simple!	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Africa	
  needs	
  home	
  grown	
  talent	
  who	
  
understands	
  applying	
  the	
  spirit	
  of	
  innova-on	
  in	
  
educa-on.	
  
	
  
Considering	
  how	
  technology	
  has	
  become	
  our	
  
everyday	
  part	
  of	
  life,	
  it’s	
  about	
  -me	
  we	
  
integrate	
  and	
  enforce	
  it	
  in	
  our	
  educa-onal	
  
system.	
  
	
  
	
  
How	
  do	
  we	
  en-ce	
  the	
  Diaspora?	
  
“Marriage	
  can	
  wait,	
  Educa-on	
  cannot”

  Suns	
  
For	
  the	
  African	
  Con-nent	
  to	
  liX	
  itself	
  from	
  
‘developing’	
  to	
  ‘developed,	
  the	
  human	
  
resources	
  and	
  workforce	
  needs	
  to	
  be	
  educated.	
  
	
  
“Innova-on	
  dis-nguishes	
  between	
  a	
  leader	
  and	
  
a	
  follower”	
  Steve	
  Jobs	
  
For	
  our	
  educated	
  genera-on	
  to	
  be	
  leaders,	
  they	
  
must	
  understand	
  and	
  harness	
  Innova-on	
  
 
How	
  can	
  innova-on	
  be	
  harnessed	
  for	
  higher	
  
educa-on?	
  
	
  
Already,	
  Africans	
  are	
  u-lising	
  innova-ve	
  
technologies	
  to	
  communicate	
  in	
  overcoming	
  the	
  
rigid	
  boarders	
  on	
  the	
  Con-nent.	
  
	
  
Provides	
  great	
  poten-al	
  in	
  duplica-ng	
  this	
  
innova-on	
  to	
  educa-on	
  across	
  the	
  con-nent.	
  
	
  
•  Technology	
  provides	
  opportuni-es	
  to	
  enhance	
  
learning	
  and	
  new	
  ways	
  of	
  engaging	
  and	
  
communica-ng	
  with	
  learners.	
  	
  
•  The	
  'innova-on	
  impera-ve'	
  is	
  as	
  valid	
  for	
  
higher	
  educa-on	
  as	
  for	
  other	
  areas	
  and	
  while	
  
it	
  is	
  perhaps	
  s-ll	
  less	
  visible	
  in	
  the	
  higher	
  
educa-on	
  sector	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  clear	
  benefit	
  of	
  
addressing	
  its	
  poten-al	
  impact	
  for	
  growth,	
  
inclusion	
  and	
  compe--veness.	
  
A	
  dismal	
  sta-s-c	
  states	
  that	
  only	
  5%	
  of	
  young	
  
people	
  in	
  Africa	
  today	
  a]end	
  college.	
  
	
  
These	
  are	
  the	
  5%,	
  by	
  defini-on	
  are	
  deemed	
  to	
  
be	
  the	
  leaders	
  of	
  Africa	
  in	
  the	
  next	
  20	
  years	
  or	
  
30	
  years.	
  
	
  
Yet	
  these	
  5%	
  are	
  not

egk13 - Harnessing Innovation for Wider Educational Integration - Oforiwa MacCarthy

  • 1. Harnessing  Innova-on  for  wider   Educa-onal  Integra-on   EGK13,  Addis  Ababa,  Ethiopia.     By:  Oforiwa  MacCarthy,  CEO  Africa  New  Media  
  • 2. “I  am  an  educated  African,  out  of  Africa,  back  in   Africa”      
  • 3. The  African  Diaspora  is  broadly  defined  by  the   African  Union  Commission  as  "peoples  of  African   origin  living  outside  the  con5nent,  irrespec5ve  of   their  ci5zenship  and  na5onality  and  who  are   willing  to  contribute  to  the  development  of  the   con5nent  and  the  building  of  the  African  Union.”     •  North  America:  39  million  from     •  La-n  America:  113  million     •  Caribbean:  13.6  million   •  Europe:  3.5  million  
  • 4. African  Diaspora  posses  a  wealth  of  knowledge   and  innova-on  that  is  needed  to  push  Africa   forwards.      
  • 5.   The  ques(on  is:       How  do  we  resonate  Africa  in  them,  to  inspire   them  to  return  home?  And  furthermore,  u-lize   their  ideas  in  educa-ng  Africa?  
  • 6. The  answer  is  simple!        
  • 7. Africa  needs  home  grown  talent  who   understands  applying  the  spirit  of  innova-on  in   educa-on.     Considering  how  technology  has  become  our   everyday  part  of  life,  it’s  about  -me  we   integrate  and  enforce  it  in  our  educa-onal   system.      
  • 8. How  do  we  en-ce  the  Diaspora?  
  • 9.
  • 10. “Marriage  can  wait,  Educa-on  cannot”  Khaled   Hosseini,  A  Thousand  Splendid  Suns   For  the  African  Con-nent  to  liX  itself  from   ‘developing’  to  ‘developed,  the  human   resources  and  workforce  needs  to  be  educated.     “Innova-on  dis-nguishes  between  a  leader  and   a  follower”  Steve  Jobs   For  our  educated  genera-on  to  be  leaders,  they   must  understand  and  harness  Innova-on  
  • 11.   How  can  innova-on  be  harnessed  for  higher   educa-on?     Already,  Africans  are  u-lising  innova-ve   technologies  to  communicate  in  overcoming  the   rigid  boarders  on  the  Con-nent.     Provides  great  poten-al  in  duplica-ng  this   innova-on  to  educa-on  across  the  con-nent.    
  • 12.
  • 13.
  • 14. •  Technology  provides  opportuni-es  to  enhance   learning  and  new  ways  of  engaging  and   communica-ng  with  learners.     •  The  'innova-on  impera-ve'  is  as  valid  for   higher  educa-on  as  for  other  areas  and  while   it  is  perhaps  s-ll  less  visible  in  the  higher   educa-on  sector  there  is  a  clear  benefit  of   addressing  its  poten-al  impact  for  growth,   inclusion  and  compe--veness.  
  • 15. A  dismal  sta-s-c  states  that  only  5%  of  young   people  in  Africa  today  a]end  college.     These  are  the  5%,  by  defini-on  are  deemed  to   be  the  leaders  of  Africa  in  the  next  20  years  or   30  years.     Yet  these  5%  are  not  being  equipped  with   innova-on  in  Educa-on
