The Education Collaborative at Ashesi launched in 2017 to serve as a platform for African universities to collaborate and share best practices. Since then, the platform has continued to see progress, with some 200 teachers, leaders and other stakeholders across 25 institutions reached, and over 2600 students directly impacted.
The 2019 gathering focused on Africa's growing population, and the role of higher education in helping the continent harness this growth for economic gain. Engaging University leaders, faculty and administrators, this year's convening welcomed 20 institutions, both public and private.
