The Case for Global Academy Africa
By 2050, Africa needs:
3+
New universities to be built every day
9m+
More classrooms to be built
9.5m
New teachers trained
We believe students shouldn’t have to leave Africa to access the world’s best education. With Global Academy Africa, we’re building the future of higher education – one that’s globally recognised, locally delivered, and built for African talent.
our ambitions are high
Our goal is to launch 10+ Global Academies across Africa by 2027, serving thousands of students with two-degree programs aligned to national priorities.
By introducing new higher education models to Africa, we’re creating a future where more students have the opportunity to succeed and contribute to society in meaningful ways.
