We have 500 enrolled students in our international affiliated programs abroad and 100 enrolled students in our preparatory classes in Africa. We intend to keep growing at this rate. In the upcoming years, we are also planning to expand into further territories and cement our position as a premier higher education institute that has ample experience and expertise to become the flag bearer of the global teaching fraternity," signs off Bénédicte FAVRE.
