About Us
Belief Statement
Education in Africa is not a priority even though you hear all the speeches of the government. At Edugist, we believe that good journalism can be at the heart of education and that the media can educate rather than sedate the populace.
Access to a quality education is an important right of all children. Edugist believes that an informed, involved public is necessary to strengthen the education in Africa because it holds the magic wang for the development of the continent.
Vision & Mission
At Edugist, we believe that all children deserve a high-quality education. Guided by this vision, we make it our mission to empower the entire education community, from educators and policymakers to business leaders and beyond. As an expert source of news and opinion, research and analysis, events, and more, we cover issues across the field—offering deeper insights and actionable resources, so our audiences can create a stronger tomorrow for all students.
Education Has A VOICE In Africa
As a newsroom, Edugist tells the story of education online, on air, in person and, across communities. Chronicling what’s happening every day in the continent’s education ecosystem, our newsroom selects the most pertinent headlines from coast-to-coast, provide real-time analysis of developing stories and meet with those making waves in African education.
