VC Reflects on Efforts to Strengthen Higher Education in Africa.

The Education Collaborative, an initiative started by Ashesi University in Ghana in partnership with The Mastercard Foundation, is one of the continent’s biggest platforms of higher education stakeholders.
Since 2017, The Collaborative has led a new model for collaboration in African higher education that is helping grow the strength of the ecosystem, with an estimated 320,041 students having seen improved learning outcomes based on the collective work of the network.
Vice-Chancellor of Kenya’s Riara University, Professor Robert Gateru, shares his institution’s experience since becoming a member of The Collaborative.
Joining The Education Collaborative was an inflection point for us because it came at a time when we were relooking at our strategies around the areas of employability, entrepreneurship, ethics, leadership, values-based education, and the ability for us to document and measure our student outcomes.
It was and still is our strong belief that for higher education to create the impact expected of it by society, measurement of student outcomes must gain as much visibility, if not more than, inputs such as student numbers and infrastructure, among others.
