At Astria Learning, our mission is driven by a simple yet powerful belief: education has the capacity to transform lives and uplift communities. This vision, championed by our CEO Dr. Jeff Bordes, continues to shape our strategy of building accessible, technology-driven learning ecosystems around the world.
Founded in 2009, Astria Learning has evolved from a technology initiative into a global eCampus partner, empowering institutions worldwide to expand access to higher education. Our approach combines technology, marketing, and academic delivery under one integrated solution, enabling universities to deliver scalable, high-quality online education without financial, technical, or operational barriers.
We are guided by values that prioritize access, academic integrity, innovation, and measurable growth for our partners. By removing barriers to education, we aim to create a world where every institution can offer flexible, scalable online programs, fostering a culture of continuous learning for all.
Recently, Dr. Bordes was featured in The Times of Malawi, where he reflected on the role of education in national and global development. The article highlighted Astria Learning’s ongoing work to expand access to quality education, particularly through digital transformation and institutional partnerships in Africa.
A Vision Rooted in Access and Opportunity
Dr. Bordes’ approach to educational innovation is deeply personal. His belief that education is a lifelong gift, one capable of transcending social and economic barriers, forms the foundation of Astria Learning’s philosophy. He envisions a world in which learning is continuous, inclusive, and unrestricted by geography or circumstance.
“True progress in education happens when access is no longer a privilege but a right. At Astra Learning, we strive to make that a global reality through technology and collaboration.”
This guiding principle has inspired Astria Learning’s commitment to helping institutions across the globe build robust online learning infrastructures that empower both students and educators.
Driving Digital Transformation in Higher Education
In his recent remarks, Dr. Bordes emphasized the importance of aligning digital education with national development goals. Under his leadership, Astria Learning has played an integral role in expanding virtual access to higher education across Africa through strategic institutional partnerships. In Malawi, Astria has collaborated with the University of Malawi (UNIMA) and the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR); and in Zambia, with the Copperbelt University (CBU). These partnerships empower universities to deliver flexible, high-quality learning experiences through innovative eCampus platforms that transcend geographical boundaries and foster lifelong learning opportunities.
These collaborations have enabled the creation of eCampuses that bring higher education directly to learners, whether they live in major cities or remote rural communities. For Dr. Bordes, such initiatives represent a model for sustainable educational transformation.
“Technology is not the end goal, It is the bridge that connects learners to opportunities and institutions to their purpose.”
Supporting National Visions for Development
Astria Learning’s work complements broader national and international frameworks aimed at digital inclusion. Dr. Bordes points out that Astria’s initiatives align closely with Malawi Vision 2063, which prioritizes skills development, inclusivity, and innovation, as well as the Digital Malawi Project, a government-led program supported by the World Bank. As highlighted in recent coverage by Entrepreneur and Forbes Georgia, Astria Learning contributes to building an education ecosystem that fosters a digitally skilled workforce prepared to advance economic and social progress.

Looking Toward a Continuous Future of Learning
Dr. Bordes envisions Astria Learning not merely as a technology company but as a catalyst for change, one that connects people, knowledge, and purpose. His leadership reflects a broader belief that learning should never be constrained by circumstance or limited by access.
“Our strategy is to create systems that sustain curiosity. When learners are empowered to keep discovering, societies move forward.”
At Astria Learning, this belief continues to guide every initiative we undertake. From expanding digital access to nurturing institutional innovation, we remain committed to building a world where learning truly never stops.
