african education international
Middlesex
Our belief that any country’s economic and social development hinges on the
opportunities for young people to learn and to develop relevant skills was the
motivation behind AEI’s formation. African Education International was
established in 2012 to invest in, and to operate, private schools across
Sub-Saharan Africa. AEI brings together a team of experienced professionals led
by Andrew Whittall, a Zimbabwean. The team has been on an extraordinary journey
over a very short period of time: we have secured in excess of USD50m in funding
with which we have built and now operate 6 schools and a teacher training
academy in the North West of Zambia, and through our foundation, we currently
support 50 government schools in this region. We are proud to be educating over
1,500 students across our schools, and impacting tens of thousands more through
our teacher education and school improvement programmes. We employ more than 180
staff members. We have already made a tangible difference, but there is much
more to do.
