The 37th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly of the Heads of State and Government opened on Feb. 17 at the AU headquarters in Ethiopia, under the theme "Educate an African fit for the 21st Century: Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality and relevant learning in Africa."
