Skill-to-market platform, AltSchool Africa has been awarded full accreditation by the Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC), signifying a huge milestone in its mission to empower millions of Africans with in-demand, future-proof skills.
Making the announcement at a virtual press conference on Monday, AltSchool Africa CEO, Adewale Yusuf described the accreditation as a stamp of approval on the learning platform’s curricula, systems and processes, all designed in alignment with global best standards.
He said the ASIC accreditation strengthens AltSchool Africa’s drive to reach more individuals–especially those in underserved communities, with world-class, modern and affordable education, enabling them to compete favorably with their peers and access limitless career opportunities within and beyond Africa.
Yusuf stated that “the ASIC Accrediation underscores the standard we had set since we embarked on this audacious journey to impact the career and lives of millions of Africans through our learning programs and initiatives. It had always been clear to us that in order to make significant change in the education sector, we had to depart from the norm. This is why we made sure that every aspect of our process is guided by excellence. With this accreditation, a leading, globally recognised quality standard in international education, AltSchool Africa is even more motivated to eliminate restrictions and create a pathway for a brighter future, especially for individuals in underserved communities across Africa who now have the opportunity to receive world-class education and skill-training.”
Dr. Ademola Akinrinola, Director of Learning and Academics at AltSchool Africa, explained that the accreditation followed an impartial and independent external assessment process to ensure AltSchool Africa’s provisions meet rigorous internationally accepted standards, covering its administration, governance, and educational offering.
Dr Akinrinola explained further that, “achieving ASIC Accreditation demonstrates to students and stakeholders that AltSchool Africa is a high-quality education provider that delivers safe and rewarding educational experiences and is committed to continuous improvement throughout its operation.” ASIC, one of the largest international accreditation agencies operating in over 70 countries, is recognised in the United Kingdom by UKVI–UK Visas and Immigration–part of the Home Office of the UK Government.
