        @BBCAfrica @annesoy Africa can afford free education. Its the mechanism to execute it thats weak from poor governance(politics).

        @BBCAfrica It will take something special. A model that motivates teachers, helps maintain an up to date curriculum ( technology maybe).

        @BBCAfrica, yes we can, if we get our priorities right. Experience and experiment in Western Nigeria proved that.
