Tomorrow our Creative Commons and School of Open volunteers in Kenya are hosting a formal launch event of School of Open Africa in celebration of these programs and to announce new programs in higher education. The event will feature a panel discussion with senior government officials from the Kenyan Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and Ministry of ICT along with Dr. Bitange Ndemo (University of Nairobi) and regional representatives from UNESCO and Google regarding the status of open education in Africa, School of Open’s contributions and future.
