Our Impact
According to the Digital Skills in Sub-Saharan Africa report recently published by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), in Sub-Saharan Africa, 230 million jobs will require digital skills by 2030.
Skool Media has helped schools and institutions cut expenses related to physical resources and infrastructure.

This trend is particularly noteworthy in the Nigerian context, where K-12 education and higher learning/upskilling opportunities rapidly expand.
