From the classroom to the exam hall, library to the lecture theatre, technology is having a transformative impact on every aspect of education. It is making us re-evaluate traditional education, the ways in which students learn and what the future of African education institutions themselves should look like.

We understand that it’s hard to keep up with the continual development of new technologies, innovative learning experiences and ways of measuring student mastery. This is where EduTECH Africa steps in: A conference and exhibition that equips teachers to teach 21st century students and how to maximise EdTech to achieve learning goals.

Over the last four years EduTECH Africa has grown to become the largest and most influential EdTech conference and exhibition in Africa. With six streams and over 150 speakers each discussing gripping topics and overflowing ideas, the conference will drive forward change in the African EdTech industry.

At EduTECH Africa we pride ourselves on bringing together thousands of educators from across Africa to evaluate and plan the future of technology in learning. Part of a series of events that spans the globe, attendees benefit from the very latest in teaching strategies, cutting edge technologies and collaboration opportunities. Join us!
