Abstract: Globalization complicates West African higher education. Problem-based learning (PBL) works in many developed nations. Scholars comprehend determination difficulties better than content or thinking. Scholars work together to find the solution. Problem-based learning describes how unprofessional management students achieve these goals. West African samples were surveyed. Students, teachers, founders, and others were interviewed, read, and given questionnaires to assess their awareness, challenges, and future of PBL in higher education, particularly business schools. PBL implementation is hindered by colonized curriculum, no access limit, insufficient research funds and infrastructure investments, resource shortages, inexperienced faculty, and curricular concerns, according to data analysis. West African management education is still developing, requiring a diverse, cutting-edge approach. PBL requires community members and dedicated, trained staff. Global competitiveness seems unavoidable. West Africa will lag if it does not. Thus, the study begins the process of understanding and resolving challenges.
