Reimagining Student Success in Africa
At the Education Collaborative’s 2025 June Convening, hundreds of university leaders, faculty, and administrators, and higher education stakeholders met to sketch a student-first blueprint for the continent’s campuses, committing to new integrated services, career-focused curricula, and cross-border partnerships in service of student success. Watch reflections and read more about the convening below.
Over four days, participants from more than 16 African countries engaged in practical dialogue on how to transform student support—from personalized learning and coaching to career development and alumni engagement—into a strategic pillar within universities. Hosted in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, the convening was co-organized by Ashesi University, Covenant University, and the University of Embu.
In his opening remarks, Hon. Nsengimana called on African universities to collaborate boldly and reimagine higher education as a driver of inclusive, sustainable transformation across the continent.
