]]> The Mo Ibrahim Foundation record a decline in education that’s leaving young Africans ill prepared for the entering the job market.

The foundation says this is particularly dangerous because people under 15 comprise more than half the continental population.

The disturbing news comes in the interim report of the Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance.

The full biennial report judging  security, human rights, economic stability, just laws, free elections, corruption, poverty, infrastructure health and education will be published next year.

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation says education in all 54 African countries has deteriorated since 2014 and falls behind the demographic needs of the continent.

It leaves young Africans with poor job prospects.
