Guinea’s Mining Boom: Investing $15B in Education for a Sustainable Future
Guinea’s Simandou mining project will be the largest in the world, transferring 5% of its revenue to education, a progressive strategy aimed at developing the country’s human capital. With mining scheduled to begin in 2026, the government plans to invest in science and engineering education and imitate the success of countries such as Singapore. This shift marks a broader effort in Africa to ensure that natural resources contribute to local development. Guinea’s focus on education, especially in the field of technology, aims to create long-term benefits to transcend mining booms and promote sustainable economic growth.
