I had a wonderful session today with Paul Atherton of Fab Inc AI-for-Education.org regarding DAWN AI STUDY (VentureHue S24) and it was mind blowing. Africa’s education system is the worst performing globally, yet African EdTech ventures attract less than 2% of total venture financing in the region, compared to 8-12% in India. Despite Africa’s growing and youthful population, and the continent's increasing working-age population, selling EdTech in Africa remains challenging. Key note take away, from the recent report on EDtech solutions, it is here to stay, more investment should go in to EDtech, how best do we prepare for the future of work if not by making quality education truly inclusive and accessible by everyone. #edtech #futureofwork #ai #AIinedtech #dawnaistudy #victorogunbiyi #tech #education #learning

🏛️ #InnovationInEducation: As the Managing Director of Kenzhegali Sagadiev University of International Business, I have always placed great importance on integrating cutting-edge technologies into the educational process. Innovation is my passion, and I firmly believe that any process can be improved by applying new ideas and technologies. One of the most significant achievements under my leadership was the creation of Green Hub, a student-led organization where we launched AI JASIK, Kazakhstan's first AI-powered educational tool designed specifically to enhance higher education. AI JASIK is a chatbot developed by the talented students of Green Hub. This innovative product is built on advanced AI technology, aimed at complementing, not replacing, traditional teaching methods. AI JASIK has become a trusted friend, psychologist, and mentor for UIB students, providing personalized support and guidance. The launch of AI JASIK marks a milestone in the development of educational tools, showcasing our commitment not just to keeping up with technological advancements but to leading in integrating AI into higher education. I have always believed that the true potential of innovation lies in fostering applied skills among the youth. By giving students the freedom to explore, experiment, and trust their instincts, we empower them to drive meaningful change.
