Building on 20 years of excellence in international student mobility, Global Education Alliance (GEA) is proud to announce our official expansion into Africa.

With it growing young population, the major markets in the region spread across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco.

GEA Africa launch marks a significant milestone in our mission to connect world-class institutions with high-potential students through our robust B2B ecosystem.
