Abstract
This article, published on May 7, 2020, discusses that although secondary school is increasingly 'fee free' across Africa, hidden non-tuition costs still create significant barriers for the most disadvantaged. Targeted support, such as bursaries and cash transfers, for groups like girls and low-income households, has been shown to be effective in ensuring access to secondary education, which is a vital employment gateway.
