I was especially grateful for the opportunity to moderate a session featuring expert panellists. The summit also provided an excellent platform to stay abreast of key issues shaping international education, including geopolitics, decolonisation, AI, innovation and the SDGs. And, of course, it created many opportunities to network, reconnecting with old friends and forging new linkages.

Thank you to the organisers of the Times Higher Education Africa Summit 2026 for this incredible gathering of educationists from across Africa. A safe space to create change, process ideas and lead the transformational future of work for the African continent.
