Guinea’s Simandou mining project, set to be the world’s largest, is redirecting 5% of its revenues into education, a progressive strategy aiming to develop the country’s human capital. With mining set to begin in 2026, the government plans to invest in science and engineering education, emulating the success of nations like Singapore. This shift marks a broader effort across Africa to ensure natural resources contribute to local development. Guinea’s focus on education, especially in technical fields, is aimed at creating long-term benefits that outlast the mining boom and foster sustainable economic growth.
