Aga Khan Academy ties up with Ontario

Hyderabad: The Aga Khan Academies and the Province of Ontario have signed an agreement to work together on mutually beneficial education initiatives. Two joint projects have been planned that will benefit both teachers and students.

Students will benefit from the partnership through tuition scholarships, that will allow students of limited means to continue higher education at some of the best universities in the world. Teacher training programmes will also be held.

Talented students such as Maxwin Omondi and Mary Favour will be able to complete their education and improve their quality of life and through them, the lives of their families and communities. Maxwin and Mary are two of the many students who will be joining a number of other Academies graduates at Ontario universities this fall.

They both come from marginalised communities in Kenya. They were supported to attend the Academy and have now obtained full scholarships.
