The Future of Education: SchoolTry at AWAU 2025

Education is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology. These innovations are reshaping classrooms, moving from traditional physical settings to virtual learning environments, and shifting from manual administrative tasks to streamlined digital solutions. This evolution is preparing students for an increasingly digital world, ensuring they gain the skills needed to thrive in modern workplaces.

At the 10th Association of West African Universities Conference (AWAU) 2025, held at Université Cheikh Anta Diop De Dakar, Senegal, SchoolTry CEO, Mr. Ismail Eleburuike, discusses how AI and digital transformation are revolutionizing education in West Africa.

Key Insights from SchoolTry’s CEO Speech

With a deep understanding of EdTech and digital transformation, Mr. Ismail Eleburuike highlights how institutions can leverage AI and digital tools to create more effective learning experiences. Here are some of the key areas he covered:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education: 

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing education by enabling personalized learning experiences. AI-powered tools allow students to learn at their own pace, helping teachers identify knowledge gaps and provide targeted support. By making education more interactive and accessible, AI is breaking down barriers for learners across different regions.

2. Digital Transformation in West Africa: 

The shift toward digital education is empowering students and teachers by providing instant access to resources. Mr. Ismail Eleburuike emphasized that embracing digital transformation will create more inclusive and effective learning environments, ensuring that students across West Africa can compete globally.

3. The Future of Learning:

Imagine a student discovering a new topic over the weekend and immediately accessing digital resources to learn about it—without waiting for a classroom lesson. Digital learning platforms enable students to take charge of their education, making learning more engaging, dynamic, and relevant to real-world applications.

4. Inclusive Innovation: 

Technology provides equal opportunities for students, regardless of their location. The same internet access in Dakar, Senegal, is available in Nigeria, leveling the playing field for learners across different countries. AI-driven education ensures that all students have the tools they need to succeed in a digital-first world.
