Teachers and schools across Africa can now access Canva for Education using their Snapplify accounts — unlocking powerful tools to teach visually and creatively, with simple, secure single sign-on (SSO) through Snapplify’s trusted identity platform.
This partnership brings together Snapplify’s education access network and Canva’s free design platform to give teachers easier access to high-impact visual learning tools – helping them prepare better lessons, save time, and deliver content that’s more engaging for learners.
Why This Matters for Schools and Education Departments
Snapplify already supports millions of authenticated users across Africa through partnerships with government departments, school networks, and institutions. With Canva now available through Snapplify SSO, schools benefit from:
- Secure, frictionless access to Canva using existing Snapplify identities
- Thousands of curriculum-ready templates for worksheets, presentations, assessments, and more
- Less time spent on admin, more time spent teaching
- Improved student understanding and engagement, through high-quality visual learning materials
- Opportunities for teacher entrepreneurs, via Canva’s Educreators Marketplace
This partnership also supports both well-resourced and under-resourced schools, ensuring digital tools are accessible at scale – no matter the context.
Teacher Training & Community Support
To help teachers make the most of Canva in the classroom, the partnership includes:
- Monthly training webinars, open to all educators
- Classroom-ready guidance to build confidence in using design tools
- Access to the Canva Africa Educator Community, where teachers connect, share, and learn together
Educators can also sign up to become Canva Educreators, contributing their own teaching materials to a global community and earning income through the marketplace.
