Regional Hubs

Transforming higher education in Africa through context-relevant programs and solutions

The Regional Hub Approach

When The Education Collaborative visualized reaching 1M students in 2030, we knew we couldn’t achieve this by ourselves and needed like-minded partners to help actualize this goal. The Collaborative takes a bottom-up approach where regional hubs drive context-relevant programs and solutions for higher-ed stakeholders in the region. Regional hubs are owned by the institutions in each region. A regional hub not only ensures the realization of the vision of reaching 1M students in 2030 and transforming them into ethical, entrepreneurial leaders who solve Africa’s myriad challenges, it ensures the sustainability of this goal even after the initial target has been actualized.
