Edu Fair Ignite 2025 took place in Nairobi on Saturday 17th May 2025, uniting educational institutions from around the globe. The International Education Fair marks a significant milestone in cross border academic migration with landmark partnership between Admission World Consult of Ghana and Kenya's jubilant stewards of Africa. Stewards of Africa is a Kenyan NGO dedicated to the improvement of living standards, promotion of social ethics, dignity education empowerment opportunities

Attendees at the event had enriching experiences with numerous events: one on one consultations with representatives from the various foreign education institutions present. Interactive seminars led by renowned educators and industry experts. Panel discussions addressing current trends and challenges in education. This was inaugural event we intend to have a major event next year where both local and international universities from over 30 countries across the world will be sharing a podium. 

Speech by Jared Oundo, Director, Jubilant Stewards of Africa  "To the students present: your presence here shows that you are thinking beyond borders, dreaming beyond limits, and preparing to step into a future filled with possibility. You are here because you believe in the power of education—not just as a tool for personal success, but as a platform to shape communities and influence the world. To the university representatives who have traveled from near and far—thank you for bringing your institutions closer to our students. Your presence here means a lot. You represent the doors to global experiences, diverse learning environments, and world-class academic excellence. We are not just encouraging academic migration; we are empowering global citizens—young men and women who will go abroad not only to learn, but to grow, connect, innovate, and eventually come back home or go elsewhere to make a lasting impact". 

The program began in 2018, serving as a vital link connecting African students with leading global educational institutions from around the globe. There was remarkable success in Accra, Ghana in 2024 with 2,200 students and 89 institutions. After Nairobi, the next stop is Kumasi, Ghana on 21st May 2025 then Accra, Ghana on 23rd May 2025. 

The event also acted as a platform for the Kenyan  Government through Ministry of Education  to implement policies that will have positive implications in Kenya's educational sector.
