Africaβs education systems are changing, but less than 3% of global education research is African-led.
HERI Africa is changing that.

'Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees' :
In 14th Century CE, 'Daisugi' technique was born in Japan. Daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees.
By applying this technique to cedars, wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.
