　　About Enko Education

　　Enko Education is a fast-growing group of African international schools, increasing access to the world's best universities for learners across Africa.

　　Enko Education has developed innovative programmes leading to globally recognized and sought-after qualifications. Since the opening of its first school in Yaoundé in September 2014, Enko Education has established an African group of 14 international schools in 9 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. More than 5,000 students from primary to secondary benefit from international education standards at a fraction of the cost charged by other international schools on the continent. We provide individualised counselling to our learners to support them in selecting the right universities and then securing both admission and financing for their studies. We offer an outstanding learning experience striving to educate our learners with Africa at heart and the world in mind.

　　The Enko Education model has already yielded outstanding results with graduates currently enrolled in some of the most prestigious universities worldwide such as Yale College in the USA, Sciences Po and Ecole Polytechnique in France and the University of Toronto in Canada.

　　We are financially supported by international development institutions and funds including Proparco, I&P, Adiwale, BIO Invest, Oiko Credit and Liquid Africa, to achieve our growth objective of reaching 20,000 learners by 2028.
