AAP Advisory Board member, Paul Zeleza who is Vice Chancellor and Professor at the United States International University- Africa, has recently co-authored a piece published by The Elephant.     Within the report, Zeleza and Paul Mzee Okanda provide a detailed analysis of technological opportunities in Africa’s higher education which were unveiled by covid-19.
