We offer an outstanding learning experience striving to educate our learners with Africa at heart and the world in mind.

    The Enko Education model has already yielded outstanding results with graduates currently enrolled in some of the most prestigious universities worldwide such as Yale College in the USA, Sciences Po and Ecole Polytechnique in France and the University of Toronto in Canada.
