Entertainment in Education – Prestige Africa Education Awards 2025

Celebrating Africa’s Most Educative Creative Content in Film, Music & Comedy

Education goes beyond the four walls of a classroom. In today’s digital age, entertainment has emerged as a powerful tool for informal learning, value shaping, and societal transformation. The Prestige Africa Education Awards (PAEA) 2025 recognizes the game-changers in Africa’s entertainment space who use their platforms to educate, enlighten, and inspire.

Why This Category Matters

Africa’s creative industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with films, songs, and comedy reaching millions daily. However, only a few intentionally use these platforms for education, awareness, and positive change. This award celebrates those who do—those who are bold enough to educate while entertaining.
