2025 Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Institute
Galaxy International School
Accra, Ghana • October 24-26, 2025
This Regional Institute is aimed at connecting secondary school counselors within the Sub-Saharan Africa Region with university admission advising tools and networks of universities around the world. It is also intended for universities around the world who want to build connections and deepen their understanding of students in the Sub-Saharan Africa market.
Through in-depth and focused conversations and presentations, participants will gain a greater understanding of the educational process, admission requirements, fees and scholarships, and the challenges and opportunities students face when applying to a university outside of Sub-Saharan Africa .
