Want clear, useful education coverage from across Africa without the fluff? This Education section brings together timely news, practical study advice, and hands-on academic guides you can use right away.
We publish news that matters to students, teachers, and researchers—policy shifts, university updates, and profiles of influential educators. For example, our recent piece on Professor Ayo Banjo covers his life, leadership at the University of Ibadan, and the reforms he pushed that still shape Nigerian higher education.
When a university hires a new vice chancellor or a ministry changes exam rules, it affects fees, admissions, and class sizes. We explain the facts, then spell out the practical answers: how students should prepare, what parents should watch for, and when staff might expect change. Short, direct summaries sit alongside links to full reports so you can read fast or dig deeper.
Want quick takeaways? Each news item includes a TL;DR at the top, a bullet list of the implications, and a short checklist of next steps for students, lecturers, or administrators.
Beyond news, we publish guides that help you get real results. Need to summarize a journal article? Our guide "Mastering the Art of Writing Journal Article Summaries" gives a five-step method: identify the question, note methods and results, write one-sentence takeaways, link findings to the bigger picture, and edit for clarity. Follow those steps and you’ll cut a long paper into a tight, accurate summary in 20–30 minutes.
Looking for thesis or assignment tips? We cover time management, source evaluation, avoiding common citation mistakes, and quick editing tricks that save marks. Each tip includes a simple example so you can copy it straight into your work.
If you’re a teacher or academic, find pieces on classroom tech, grading fairness, and running small research projects with limited budgets. Practical examples—like running a survey with free tools or turning lecture notes into a publishable paper—give you action, not just theory.
We keep the language plain and the steps doable. No jargon, no long-winded theory—just clear advice you can apply today.
