An education and training consultancy firm, Caroline Group is set to launch a number of initiatives in furtherance of the development in the sector.

The event, scheduled for June 26, 2020, comes on the back of emerging trends such as online learning and other forms in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is expected to be spearheaded by the Chief Executive Officer of the group, Caroline Esinam Adzogble who has promised to make education more accessible and affordable.

The 28-year-old, based on her activities in improving the educational space for students in the sub-region has been touted by many as the ‘face of education in Africa.’

She had wanted to become a medical doctor but when that dream failed to materialize, she had to come up with another workable plan. Several years on, her courage to follow a different path is yielding results.

Background

28-year-old Caroline Esinam Adzogble hails from Dzodze in the Volta Region. She started her own Potters International College, an online college in 2010, before expanding operations to other areas.

The college offers internationally-recognized diplomas to students who have had gaps in their education and do not have the necessary academic qualification to move on to the next level. The CEO and her team are determined to “redefine education” with a focus on training, consulting, marketing, travel, and philanthropy.

Recounting her journey, she noted that a combination of quality education and Information Communication Technology (ICT) could help transform society positively.

Education

Ms. Adzogble studied General Science at Ideal College in Accra and continued to study database technology, systems hardware, and networking at IPMC College of Technology. Later, she took up an online course in Business Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

“One evening upon getting home, I announced to my parents that I was going to start training young ones in ICT, especially those that could not afford to pay for it, and that was the beginning of what the Caroline group represents today.

“We want to change the face of education and making it the most affordable and accessible commodity on the planet,” she said.

According to her, everyone is entitled to a world-class education irrespective of age, race, color, and financial status, hence her decision to “uplift education in Africa and beyond.”
