About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

African Future University offers this tuition-free online MSc for assessment officers, department heads, and NGO education staff who must write items and mark schemes in English and French. You will design papers that remain fair when printing is late, invigilators are unpaid, and candidates sit in rooms without reliable electricity. The programme does not confer qualified-teacher status and does not appoint you to a national examinations council. Digital item banks are taught as low-bandwidth tools, not as a claim that every school has a tablet. Rural and bilingual cases are required because most African assessment systems are not a capital-city pilot. Capstones use anonymised scripts or mock papers, not a consultancy for a named board.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
