StarTimes Media and  The Association of African Universities (AAU) have today signed an MOU that will see the two organizations partner towards growing access to University education.

The cooperation seeks to ensure University students have greater access to relevant higher education materials where Association of African Universities will provide educational videos focused on diverse disciplines which will be accessible on the StarTimes ON streaming application at no cost thereby enabling students to grow their knowledge and skills as well as tap into the research outcomes emanating from the continent’s higher education institutions.

AAU, was established in 1967. It is currently the apex higher education organization in Africa with a current membership of over 400 institutions of higher learning across all the linguistic and geographic divides in Africa. It also established the AAU Television (“AAU TV”) to promote African scholarship and inter-university collaboration through information exchange and promotion of higher education-related issues.

The Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Prof. Etienne Ehouan Ehile said, “The partnership with StarTimes comes at an opportune time when access to educational content is in high demand as most educational activities have moved online as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its unprecedented outcomes. AAU is open to partnerships with institutions whose core mandates align with our aspirations.”

StarTimes Vice-President Luis Lu said, “We are honoured to launch this partnership with the AAU. Our intention is to leverage on this modern platform to expand access to knowledge via AAU approved content where we will be able to air relevant educational materials by distinguished scholars. This is a milestone for StarTimes and a step forward toward ensuring equal access to all levels of education.”
