Rewriting Education in Africa | The Gambia Academy Campus Opening

The opening of the Gambia Academy’s new campus marks a defining moment in the transformation of education in Africa. In this video, we share highlights from the official opening ceremony of Phase I of our dedicated campus — a milestone made possible through the generous support of Zakat Foundation of America. The event brought together community leaders, government representatives, diplomats, industry partners, media, parents, and students to witness the next chapter in our journey to rebuild education from the ground up.

FOLLOW US:   / thegambiaacademy   The new campus features dedicated classrooms, performance space, and a specialist learning environments designed to equip young Africans with the practical skills, critical thinking, cultural grounding, and entrepreneurial mindset needed to build their nations from within. This campus is more than a building. It is infrastructure for a new educational philosophy — one rooted in decolonising education, restoring cultural confidence, and aligning learning with the real development needs of African nations. But this is only Phase 1. We are now working toward Phase 2 — expanding facilities for Science, Engineering, Agriculture, IT, Music Technology, Art, and Business development. To continue this work, we are seeking committed partners who believe in building long-term transformation, not temporary solutions.
