Biography

Peter Galeh is a Ghanaian educationist, author, and institution builder with over a decade of senior experience in higher education admissions and international student recruitment across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

He is the Founder and President of the Cunningham Institute of Higher Education (CINHED), established in 2025 in East Legon, Accra, Ghana — a bold vision to produce globally competitive graduates who are locally grounded and internationally recognised.

Before founding CINHED, Peter built a distinguished career at some of the region’s most respected institutions. He served as Executive Admissions and International Admissions Manager for the MENA region at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), overseeing student recruitment across campuses in Dubai, Malaysia, and India. He also held senior admissions and career advisory roles at Capital University College, Westford University College, Demont Institute of Management and Technology, and Kings Business School — all in the UAE — and served as Superintendent of Business at Fafali Group across Ghana and Dubai.

Peter is also a prolific author whose books challenge Africa’s political, social, and cultural narratives with clarity and courage. His published works include Politics Redefined Wrongly in Africa, Language of the Heart, Live Overseas in an African Language, and Stigmatization Is More Deadly Than the Virus— with more titles in progress. Each book is a call to think differently, act boldly, and demand better.

Nominated as a Youth Transformational Education Leader at the Africa Youth Leaders Awards, Peter continues to build bridges between Ghanaian students and world-class academic opportunities through CINHED’s growing network of international affiliates, including Steinbeis University Berlin, EU Global (Malta), and partners across Europe and the Middle East. His conviction is simple: every African student deserves a seat at the global table — and the credentials to match.
