The 2025 TINE Africa Summit is anchored on the theme “Shifting Lenses: Re-centering African Students’ Voices in International Education.” This year’s theme reflects a growing imperative to move beyond inclusion toward genuine representation for African students in shaping the global education landscape. It challenges stakeholders to rethink systems, partnerships, and narratives so that African students are not just beneficiaries of international education, but key contributors and co-creators of its future.
As educators, policymakers, and industry leaders, this is a moment to listen, learn, and act. From evolving mobility trends and affordability challenges to the impact of digital transformation and cross-border collaboration, the 2025 summit provides a space to confront barriers to access while amplifying the voices that matter most; the students themselves.
