AfricAcademy and its educational and school programs exist to support the continent of Africa harness its large population, which is also the most youthful while growing at the fastest rate in the world. This creates huge opportunities not just for Africa but for the whole world.

This is because, this youthful population provides a potential for a magical demographic dividend by balancing the aging and decreasing population in the developed world, and thus evening out the global dependency ratio. However, this potential can only be harnessed if the youthful population of Africa is enabled to become technologically savvy and professional – workforce, entrepreneurs, and inventors- attractive to investment under the global green economy of the fourth industrial revolution.

This revolution threatens to leave billions behind and outside the mainstream due to its technological basis which is changing and growing exponentially while rapidly disrupting nearly every job everywhere. Therefore, Africa requires schooling and technological training systems that prepare the young for jobs that do not even exist at the moment. This is where Arusha Science comes in.
