About the Conference
The 14th Annual Conference of the African Network for Internationalization of Education (ANIE) will be held from 9th -11th October 2024 in Accra, Ghana under the theme ‘Repositioning the International Education Agenda for Africa’s Future’. The African Union (AU) has designated the year 2024 as the Year of Education in Africa. It is thus a critical time to look back at some of the major developments and reforms that have been accomplished and at the same time reflect and strategize on the needed actions for the future.
ANIE will dedicate its 14th Annual Conference to marking the African Union (AU) year of education by focusing on the critical role that international education has played in shaping the higher education sector in Africa and what needs to be done going forward. The past few years have recognised the calls for re framing internationalization to mitigate the imbalances and challenges it has posed to African countries. The conference will thus focus on the progress and developments that have been recorded over the years amidst several challenges and obstacles including emerging realities such as the COVID 19 pandemic, the impacts of growing global conflicts, the realities of climate change on developing countries, the impacts and potentials of disruptive technologies and a the bulging and restless Africa’s youthful population.
