Edusko.com, a leading edtech that connects parents and students with good and affordable schools within and outside Africa now has presence in China to assist Africans interested in studying in the most populous country. In a statement issued to the press, Edusko’s founder, Jide Ayegbusi said it became necessary to have presence in China going by the way the country is increasingly becoming a study destination for Africans who are unable to secure admissions in Europe and America but still desire quality education outside the shore of Africa.
“Our mission is to connect African parents and students with good and affordable schools across the globe with ease. We’ve found out that China presents an opportunity for this. “You’ll be amazed at how good and affordable these schools are”, said Jide.
The fast growing start-up had earlier this year planned to partner with leading foreign university agents to ensure seamless experience for parents and students seeking foreign admission. CUAP Education Consultants, a leading Chinese university agent is the first in line of these planned collaborations.
“We are extremely delighted to partner with Edusko. We’ve been following up with the progress of the start-up and it’s incredible to know how many Africans are currently using Edusko to find good and affordable schools in Africa and beyond”, said Salim Abubarka, the CEO of CUAP Education Consultant.
Edusko was launched in 2015 to help parents and students find and choose good schools amidst thousands jostling for their attention. In less than one year of launch, the start-up has helped over 30,000 parents made informed decisions and had referred over 500 students to good and affordable schools in Nigeria and beyond.
Already, leading schools in Africa and beyond have been signed up on edusko.com. Schools ranging from Crèche, Nursery and Primary, Secondary, Tertiary to Special schools in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, UK, Canada, United States and recently China are freely available for school finders on edusko.com.
