More than 1200 international education and technology experts, advisers, and investors will gather in Cairo in May to discuss how to turn the African Union’s vision of a “transformed continent” into reality. The eLearning Africa conference will occur from 24 – 26 May at Cairo International Convention Centre. More details on www.elearning-africa.com

The conference will examine how technological developments could enable education and training to boost growth and transform the lives and prospects of the next generation of Africans.

“New opportunities for expanding education and training are being created across Africa,” says Rebecca Stromeyer, the eLearning Africa founder. “Everywhere, in every sector, technology is transforming learning, opening it up, and creating new educational and training opportunities. This is an inspiring time for education everywhere. The chance to change tens of millions of people’s lives and prospects is enormous in Africa.

“The change is already happening. Technology helps people learn new skills, and in many sectors, such as farming, it is beginning to make a huge difference. Technology-assisted learning has begun to contribute to economic growth in many countries significantly.

The pace of change will only quicken over the next decade, and the effect will be astonishing. We are going to see a new Africa, a transformed Africa.

“Education is at the heart of this change. This year’s eLearning Africa is about a vision of Africa’s future and how we can make it happen. The African Union has set out its 2063 Vision, but how can we turn it into reality? At the conference, we’ll examine what’s happening in education and technology and how these developments can contribute to positive change and growth. It’ll be an efficient conference featuring hundreds of presentations, proposals, products, and solutions from experts and investors worldwide.”

Themes up for discussion at the conference include the workplace skills of the future; changes in the nature and ownership of learning; improving access and creating new opportunities for students, teachers, and trainers; innovation, emerging technologies; higher and further education; and the shape of African educational institutions in the future.

Keynote speakers will include Dr. Ismael Serageldin, Director of the Library of Alexandria; Professor Thierry Zomahoun, President of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences; HE Dr. Elham M.A. Ibrahim, Egypt’s Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy; Günter Nooke, German Chancellor’s Personal Representative for Africa in the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development; Tarek Shawki, Dean of the School of Sciences and Engineering at the American University in Cairo; Toby Shapshak, Editor and Strategist;  Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, CEO of the RISE Group; and Professor Sozinho Matsinhe of the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa.
