Africa's School Leaders Are Stronger Together

Connecting school owners, principals, headteachers and education leaders across Africa to share best practice, accelerate innovation and build growth-ready schools.

African School Leaders is a growing community of leaders committed to shaping the future of education across the continent. Through monthly leadership conversations, professional learning, research, collaboration and networking, we are creating a platform where school leaders can learn from one another and collectively influence the future of African education.

About

A pan-African community for school owners, principals, headteachers and senior education leaders.

African School Leaders is created for leaders who believe that collaboration is one of the most powerful tools for school improvement.

Our mission

Solving shared challenges, together.

Across Africa, school leaders face many of the same challenges: enrolment growth, financial sustainability, staff development, safeguarding, innovation, technology adoption and preparing students for an increasingly complex future. Yet too often, leaders are solving these challenges in isolation.

African School Leaders exists to change that. Our mission is to connect educational leaders across the continent, creating opportunities to share ideas, exchange best practices, learn from experts and discover solutions that strengthen schools and improve outcomes for learners.

Founded by educator, safeguarding specialist and education entrepreneur Princess Onwuka, African School Leaders brings together leaders committed not only to growing their schools, but also to contributing to the advancement of education across Africa.
