Fact-Checking Policy

At EduJobs Africa, we believe that misinformation in the education and employment sector can have serious consequences. Our readers rely on us to find genuine paths to success. To maintain this trust, we implement a strict fact-checking and verification protocol for every post.

1. Primary Source Verification

We do not curate information from second-hand blogs or unverified social media “blasts.” Every listing on our site must be traced back to a primary source, which includes:

• Official University websites (.edu or .ac domains).
• Government portals (.gov or official gazettes).
• Verified Company LinkedIn pages or official corporate “Career” sections.
• Direct press releases from reputable NGOs (e.g., UN, MasterCard Foundation, etc.).

2. The “Anti-Scam” Technical Audit

Before an opportunity is approved for publication, our team performs a technical audit of the application portal:

• Domain Security: We check for SSL certificates and secure HTTPS protocols.
• Link Authenticity: We ensure that the application link does not redirect to phishing sites or pages asking for sensitive financial data.
• Domain Age: We often check the registration age of new portals to ensure they aren’t “pop-up” scam sites designed to harvest data.

3. Deadline & Eligibility Cross-Check

Information can become outdated rapidly. Our fact-checkers manually verify that:

• The application deadline is still active.
• The eligibility criteria specifically include African nationalities (or the specific regions we cover).
• The contact information provided (emails/phone numbers) matches the official institution.

4. Correction Commitment

Despite our best efforts, if an error is found, we act immediately under our Corrections Policy. We encourage our readers to report any suspicious or inaccurate information to our team at edujobsafrica@gmail.com.
