A new publication is available on the Ovilongwa portal, based on Afrobarometer Dispatch No. 511 (March 2022), analysing citizens' perceptions of education systems across 34 African countries, drawing on Round 8 (2019/2021) and 48,084 interviews.

The key finding: for the first time in more than two decades of surveys, a majority of respondents (53%) say their government is doing a poor job on education — a 12-percentage-point decline over the past decade that, according to the data, predates and is independent of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The publication also confirms persistent inequalities in access to education for women, rural residents and the poor, and places Angola close to the continental average. Read the full analysis and the original document in the Publications section.
