Our vision is to begin with a radical reimagination of Africa’s education, with a fundamental understanding that it’ll lead to higher innovation rate in the continent (and we’ve already seen a lot of this in tech), thereby increasing the overall quality of life, and ultimately solves the problem with talent attrition.

We basically aim to position Africa’s science as a leading knowledge frontier come 2030 when all goes remote. And we would do this by having her pool of talented enthusiasts trained by the very best programs in the world, albeit remotely, after which these talented professionals gets embedded to contribute to the projects done at NASA, CERN, and other leading laboratories and research institutions in the world.

The current DEI initiative has to be timely reimagined because it is, as we currently know, an unsustainable initiative, as one: 1. The contribution being done by Africans in top institutions across the world is recognized as the institution’s work, and not Africa’s. Boldly highlighting the case that brain drain remains brain drain. 2. We’re already seeing people revolt against the idea of DEI, as they want more place for their students in their institutions.

Idalia Africa’s approach to science education and contribution to knowledge reimagines DEI by tackling the aforementioned problems.
