About education providers in East Africa

East Africa has one of the youngest populations on the planet and a school-going cohort that has roughly tripled in a generation. That demographic reality has built an education sector that runs from village primary schools and secondary academies through TVET colleges and universities to a thriving private tutoring market and a rapidly maturing edtech industry building platforms in Nairobi, Kampala, and Kigali.

The education businesses listed on EABD include schools at every level, training institutions, language and exam-prep tutors, edtech platforms, learning-management vendors, and ancillary services from uniforms to school transport. Parents, students, and corporate L&D teams can compare verified providers by location, programme, and rating, and reach out directly to the school or tutor without going through a marketing agency.
