The 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker launches in Accra

Only 1 in 10 countries has recorded substantial gains since 2024 — but where evidence drives reform, change is possible.

In Accra, Human Capital Africa joined partners from UNICEF and Ghana’s Ministry of Education for the global launch of the 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker (FLAT 2025) — a key accountability tool that monitors how countries translate commitments on foundational learning into concrete policy and system actions.

The data reveal both progress and persistence. While only 1 in 10 countries has recorded substantial gains since 2024, the growing use of data, clear learning benchmarks and structured teaching approaches shows that change is possible where evidence drives reform.

At HCA, accountability is at the heart of our mission. Tools like FLAT keep the focus on what governments actually do — and on results for children.

HCA’s role

Dr Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili, Founder and Chair of HCA, serves on the FLAT High-Level Steering Committee, helping guide its strategic direction. Santos Akhilele, Senior Associate at HCA, supports the Technical Reference Group, which provides analytical and technical input to the process.

Our collective goal is clear: to ensure that data, evidence and accountability remain at the centre of every conversation about learning in Africa.
