Education in Africa is still not where it needs to be for the continent to cater to its bustling young population. In solving the education problem in Africa, Co-Creation Hub with its presence in Nigeria and Kenya is launching an accelerator with a focus on ed-tech.
The accelerator which will be called the EdTech Fellowship Program will commit $15 million to support 72 startups in Nigeria and Kenya in the next three years.
The program would give the startups an initial $100,000 check after being accepted into the program.
Bosun Tijani, CcHUB’s CEO, says there is also a provision for follow-on investment to the tune of $50 million that will cater to the seed and Series A stages for the startups
