Post by Eduvos, November 19, 2024.

At Eduvos, we continually seek opportunities that enrich the educational experience and create pathways for our students to thrive. We're excited to announce our new membership of the Southern African Regional Universities Association (SARUA), a leading network of higher education institutions across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).  

About SARUA  
SARUA is a membership-based organisation representing public and private higher education institutions in the SADC region. It serves as a pivotal hub for driving transformative change, fostering collaboration and advancing innovation with the academic community. SARUA’s mission is to be a responsive and impactful network championing policy advocacy, advancing innovation, and strengthening academic ecosystems across Southern Africa. 

Eduvos’s Role as a SARUA Member 
As a SARUA member, Eduvos joins forces with regional institutions to raise higher education standards and promote meaningful initiatives that benefit both students and staff. SARUA’s mission aligns closely with Eduvos's Research Agenda for 2023–2027, which is focused on sustainable development across Africa. Through this agenda, we address pressing regional and global issues, guided by frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063, and SADC's Vision.  

By joining SARUA, we are strengthening our collaborative capabilities, enabling our faculty and students to participate in regional initiatives that tackle important focus areas, including social justice, sustainable business, data science for social impact, biotechnology, and wellness in education. 

This membership will facilitate our ongoing engagement in collective research and policy initiatives, allowing our academics to bring fresh perspectives and practical insights into the classroom and further ensure our curricula align with the industry.  

Shaping the Future of Higher Education in Southern Africa 
As part of SARUA, Eduvos is positioned to take a more active role in shaping higher education across Southern Africa and, in turn, shaping potential, student by student, towards Africa's prosperity. This membership reaffirms our commitment to accessible, forward-thinking private higher education and supports our student's academic and personal growth from enrolment to graduation, and beyond. 

This is a significant step towards fostering a more connected, resilient, and innovative educational environment for our students. Through this alliance, Eduvos is not only preparing students for the demands of the future but also contributing to a regional network that can rise to today’s educational and societal challenges.
