Representatives at the recent Africa Summit stressed the need for governments to spend more money on education. A veteran of 20 African summits, Hassan Sunmonu, secretary general of the Organisation of African Trade Union Unity, recently declared that the Banjul gathering of the continent’s leaders was the best he’d experienced. He raised eyebrows in the gathering of NGOs where he was a panelist, not the least because his remarks came while foreign ministers - sitting at the African Union (AU) executive council - were still preparing their final drafts for their heads of government.
