At the core of this pioneering movement lies a membership model which encourages open engagement and sharing, and fosters a sense of community accountability among participating institutions. The Collaborative is establishing sub-regional hubs, led by exemplary public and private institutions within each region, to ensure that this model incorporates a deep level of contextualization within different regulatory environments. By doing so, institutions can deepen their ability to advance quality education outcomes while raising the bar for their peers.
The success of this endeavor is driven by a robust platform of in-person and virtual convenings that facilitate deeper mentorship between exemplar public and private institutions — celebrated for their achievements in higher education teaching, learning, operations, and leadership — and peer institutions striving for growth in those areas. Furthermore, this platform facilitates and provides resources for experiments and innovation at a smaller size, generating the critical evidence and data needed to scale such outcomes across the network and the continent. In doing so, the Collaborative’s network sets the stage for truly sustainable impact on African higher education by driving collective focus in key areas that accelerate student transformation.
Our focal areas reflect the pressing developmental needs and trends in higher education in Africa. They direct the strategic priority areas of member institutions in our network and seek depth and impact for participants in building lasting systems. Currently covering trending needs in entrepreneurship and employability development, ethics and leadership, and faculty development, projects and initiatives under our focal areas are designed and implemented in collaboration with member institutions
By 2030, The Education Collaborative aims to build a 140-member network that serves at least one million students, educating ethical, entrepreneurial leaders capable of creating jobs, advancing industries, and driving economic growth across Africa.
