The Kigali Convention Centre will be the setting for the next edition of Africa\u2019s leading conference and exhibition on technology-assisted learning, bringing political leaders, investors and some of the world\u2019s leading experts on education and technology to the Rwandan capital for three days of talks, workshops and a ministerial roundtable.<\/p>\n
eLearning Africa\u2019s founder and CEO, Rebecca Stromeyer, said, on Tuesday, that she hoped the conference would help to establish \u201ca new purpose for education\u201d by facilitating in-depth discussions on \u201cwhat the world will be like after Covid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pandemic has brought about many changes, some of which will be permanent,\u201d she said. \u201cNow we need a real focus on adaptability, resilience and sustainability in education. And we need an African agenda \u2013 not just for Africa itself, but because Africa has so much to teach the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfrican experience and traditions, such as \u2018ubuntu\u2019, will enjoy a new relevance. Equally, African ideas of community and partnership with nature could soon mean that Africa is increasingly recognised as a resource of knowledge, experience and education for the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The conference, which will have \u2018A New Purpose for Education\u2019 as its main theme will consider issues including:<\/p>\n
-* The challenges facing African countries in the aftermath of the pandemic<\/p>\n
-* The suitability of global models in the African context<\/p>\n
-* How to redirect education to meet African countries\u2019 future needs<\/p>\n
-* Using technology to enable African countries to respond to specific needs in
\n context<\/p>\n
-* The single African market and the opportunities and requirements of employers<\/p>\n
-* Africa\u2019s contribution to global learning and problem solving<\/p>\n
Featuring plenary sessions, seminars, workshops, debates and discussions, eLearning Africa will be accompanied by a major exhibition, showcasing some of the latest EdTech technologies and solutions. The conference will take place from 11 \u2013 13 May at the Kigali Convention Centre in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am delighted that eLearning Africa is back on the road and returning to the splendid, state-of-the-art conference centre in Kigali,\u201d said Ms Stromeyer. \u201cIt has been a long wait but I hope this conference will show it has been well worth it. It will be wonderful to see the eLearning Africa family \u2013 our amazing network of experts, solutions providers, managers and investors \u2013 back together again for what will be the most important programme of discussions in our history.\u201d<\/p>\n
