Editorial Summary
AltSchool Africa is a Nigerian education technology company founded in 2021 by Adewale Yusuf and Sultan Akintunde to provide practical, technology-enabled education outside conventional academic pathways. The platform began with its School of Engineering and subsequently expanded into product, data, business and creative education, offering structured online programmes designed around skills that connect directly with technology and the wider digital economy. Its development reflects the growth of alternative education models in Africa aimed at making career-oriented training accessible beyond traditional universities and physical classrooms.
AltSchool has since developed into a broader learning and talent platform with schools covering Engineering, Product, Data, Business and Creative Economy, alongside diploma, degree and shorter-form programmes.
