What AI can really do in your classroom, and what it cannot.

(Once you see where it helps and where it doesn't, the fear of being replaced turns into a plan for using it.)

The questions to ask before you let any new app or tool into your classroom or school.

(Skip them and you could end up paying for software nobody uses, or worse, software that does more harm than good.)

Practical ways to build curiosity, creativity and critical thinking in your students, even where resources are limited.

(No smartboard or fancy lab required.)

Where is it taking place, and how do I get the link?

Online. The summit is streamed live on YouTube, so you can join wherever you have a suitable internet connection. Registration is free, and we'll email the link to the address you register with.

Do I need to know how to use AI already?

No. The summit is designed to make AI and EdTech conversations clear and accessible, including for educators who are just starting to try them.

Will I get a certificate, and can I decide later?

A digital certificate comes with the optional ₦5,399 Certificate Pass, not with free attendance. You can decide up to the day before the summit. The option appears right after you register, and if you skip it there, you can still get the Certificate Pass here. Certificate requests will not be accepted on the event day.

TrainDTrainer® Africa Teacher Development & EdTech Summit 3.0 is happening NOVEMBER! 1217+ REGISTERED ALREADY, HURRY & RESERVE your seat!!!

Africa Teacher Development & EdTech Summit 2026

Theme: Building Africa's Educational Dominance.

Find Out What AI Means for Your Classroom, and Leave With Ideas You Can Try on Monday

A free online summit for teachers and school leaders across Africa. You don't need any background in technology.

DATE: 28th November, 2026

TIME: 10AM (WAT)

VENUE: Online (LIVE on YouTube)

Hosted by Dr Onyekachi Onwudike-Jumbo and TrainDTrainer®

THE CLASSROOM IS CHANGING

You Were Trained for a Classroom That Is Changing Fast

Your pupils are growing up with AI on the phones around them, and the work they will do as adults is already being redefined.

You are expected to prepare them for that world with the training you received years ago, a syllabus built around exams and very little support. If you have sat in a staff meeting where someone said teachers must keep up with technology and nobody showed you how, you know how that feels.

That gap is not your fault. Teachers across Africa have been left to work out the future on their own, and most training has not caught up.

One teacher who joined last year's summit wrote this afterwards:

"I now know that I am not a dinosaur." Mrs Adeyinka, 2025 summit attendee

WHY ATTEND?

Why Most Education Events Leave You With Nothing to Try

You may have attended conferences where the speeches were moving, people took photographs and certificates were handed out. Then Monday came, and your classroom looked the same as before.

Those talks described the future in big words. Nobody turned the words into a lesson idea, a question to ask your pupils or a tool you could test in a class of forty.

The 2026 summit is planned around that Monday morning. Keynotes explain what is changing, and masterclasses and live demonstrations turn it into things you can use in your classroom or school.

What Happens on Saturday, 28 November

Here's just a small sample of what you'll take away:

➔ Powerful keynote addresses.
How AI and technology are changing the way children learn and the way people work, explained in plain language.

➔ Practical masterclasses.
Focused sessions that turn those changes into strategies you can start using in your classroom.

➔ Education technology demonstrations.
Watch tools being used live, and decide which ones are worth trying with your pupils.

➔ Ways to build thinking skills in African schools.
Practical approaches to building critical thinking, creativity, curiosity and problem-solving, shaped around the realities of African classrooms.

➔ African solutions.
Models and innovations shaped around the realities of African teachers, schools and learners.

➔ Honest conversations.
Teachers, school leaders, policymakers and education innovators talking about what African education needs now.

➔ Strategic connections.
Meet people with whom new ideas, opportunities and partnerships can be built.

Imagine walking into class on Monday, 30 November with a new approach from a masterclass, a tool you have watched in action, and a clear sense of what AI can and cannot do for your pupils.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF LEARNING, YOU BELONG HERE

This SUMMIT is for you if..

▶ You teach, and the world seems to be moving faster than the support you get.

▶ You keep hearing about AI and future skills, and you want to know what they mean for your actual classroom.

▶ You are asked to raise creative, critical thinkers inside a system still built around memorising for exams.

▶ You run or lead a school, and you know good results alone are no longer enough.

▶ You shape education policy, build learning tools or fund education in Africa.

You don't need to understand technology or AI already. Every session is designed for people who are just starting.

Why TrainDTrainer®?

TrainDTrainer® is building Africa’s future education workforce by equipping teachers with the knowledge, tools and professional formation required for a changing world.

So far, our growing movement has:

➔ Trained more than 29,000+ educators

➔ Reached more than half a million learners through the teachers we equip

➔ Earned recognition as a CPD UK provider

➔ Received TRCN MCPD provider approval

➔ Been selected for the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, Nigeria

Our goal is to equip one million African teachers by 2030.

Because when one teacher is equipped, the impact does not end with one person. It enters every classroom that teacher serves and reaches children whose names we may never know.

Last Year, We drew the BLUEPRINT

The 2025 Africa Teacher Development & EdTech Summit gathered around one declaration:

Deconstruct the Old. Define the New. This Is Africa’s Educational Blueprint.

We questioned inherited systems and declared that Africa could not outsource the education of its own future.

But a blueprint is only the beginning.

A blueprint that is never built eventually becomes another document gathering dust.

This year, we begin building.

This Year's Theme: What Is Educational Dominance?

Educational dominance is not domination over anyone.

➔ It is Africa developing the capacity to educate its people so well that they can think, create, build, lead and compete anywhere.

➔ It is teachers equipped to interpret change rather than fear it.

➔ It is schools that produce problem-solvers, not only examination candidates.

➔ It is education technology designed around African realities.

➔ It is Africa moving from importing educational answers to developing models and solutions the world can learn from.

It is becoming impossible to ignore because of the quality of what we build.

Who's Behind This

Your host: Dr Onyekachi Onwudike-Jumbo

Dr. Onyekachi Onwudike-Jumbo has been at the forefront of educating teachers, schools, and communities across Africa on artificial intelligence integration in education.

TrainDTrainer® started in 2022 from a simple WhatsApp group of Nigerian teachers. Dr. Onyekachi Onwudike-Jumbo showed up every week to teach, empower, and expose them to global certifications aligned with the World Economic Forum's education framework.

What began as weekly sessions focused on intentionally improving teaching practices has grown into a movement of 29,000+ educators across Africa.

She also developed Onyaka AI, Africa's first teacher-focused AI platform.

In her words: "I started TrainDTrainer in a WhatsApp group because teachers kept asking me the same thing: what do I actually do about all this new technology? Every summit since has been about answering that together. This year we go further. Come with your questions."

Two Ways to Walk Into Class on Monday, 30 November

You can walk in with the same questions about AI that you have today. Or you can walk in with a strategy from a masterclass, a tool you have watched being used, and the confidence that you understand what is changing for your pupils. The summit costs nothing and takes one Saturday morning, from wherever you are.

Somewhere in your classroom is a child carrying an idea that could change a community. That child needs a teacher who can see beyond the syllabus.

There will come a time when Africa is no longer described mainly by what it could become, but recognised for what it has deliberately built.
