This publication is one part of a series of Rapid Evidence Reviews (RERs) that has been produced by EdTech Hub as part of the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (SAGE) Programme. The programme aims to enhance foundational learning opportunities for all by breaking down barriers that hinder the educational achievements of girls and marginalised learners. The purpose of the RERs is to provide education decision-makers with accessible, evidence-based summaries of good...

The study reported here is for Phase 2 of the research project known as ‘The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based Teacher Continuous Professional Development Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania’ and part of the global Empowering Teachers Initiative (ETI), which comprises 10 country projects. It is closely aligned with the implementation of ‘MEWAKA’ (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini) or Teacher continuous professional development (TCPD), and the Tanzania National TCPD implementation...

High-income countries often use external incentives such as remuneration, professional pathways or accreditation to motivate teachers to engage in professional development. This paper reflects on the challenges of engaging teachers in school-based professional development in resource-scarce education environments where the use of such incentives is not feasible and explores practical strategies to motivate their engagement. In such contexts, where qualified teacher status and promotion are...

Gilgit-Baltistan, located in the northernmost part of Pakistan, is a region known for its mountainous geography. Its complex geography creates challenges for education, such as geographic isolation and infrastructural limitations. While technology offers the potential to overcome these barriers of isolation, several infrastructural and capacity barriers prevent equitable access to EdTech. The Government of Gilgit-Baltistan has strived to respond to these barriers by introducing a more...

Commissioned as a Helpdesk request from the FCDO-funded Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) project, this EdTech Hub rapid scan provides an overview of the EdTech landscape in Nigeria. Given the PLANE programme’s focus on northern Nigeria, this rapid scan also assesses state-level policies and infrastructural challenges in three northern Nigerian states — Jigawa, Kaduna, and Kano. Furthermore, this rapid scan builds on the evidence presented in the previous EdTech Hub rapid...

In 2024, the World Bank submitted a request to EdTech Hub's Helpdesk to support the Government of Sierra Leone in developing a National Digital Learning Strategy. The Hub initiated the process with the creation of this digital learning landscape analysis. The report identifies achievements and progress to date, as well as key challenges and priority areas going forward. It is based on primary and secondary data collection methods, including key informant interviews, focus group discussions,...

The sub-Saharan Africa region is trapped in a learning crisis with devastating implications for children. The Covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the situation, with children losing an estimated equivalent of an additional year’s learning. Not addressing the regional learning crisis will have a detrimental impact on economic development and well-being and risks restricting future national and regional economic growth and productivity and fuelling social unrest. Education research has shown...

MEWAKA (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini, or Teacher Continuous Professional Development [TCPD]) is a landmark, school-based teacher professional development programme being implemented nationally by the Government of Tanzania, with the ultimate aim of raising learning outcomes in schools. EdTech Hub, Aga Khan University, and the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) are conducting research to iteratively enhance the MEWAKA implementation at primary school level and to understand the role...

This Rapid Evidence Review provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices for learners in contexts of forced displacement. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others), with a clear picture of which interventions may be the most effective in these contexts and, crucially, which implementation decisions facilitate or hinder this effectiveness. We reviewed...

This policy brief explores how EdTech can support a climate-resilient education system, drawing on insights from stakeholder consultations and EdTech Hub's research on learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. While recovery efforts often focus on restoring physical infrastructure, we argue that a shift to long-term resilience against climate emergencies can be supported by strategic and contextually relevant use of EdTech. The brief...

This Rapid Evidence Review provides a synthesis of evidence related to the use of educational technology for building climate resilience within education systems in low- and middle-income countries. The primary objective of the review is to provide educational stakeholders with an overview of how technology could be effectively leveraged in these contexts, highlighting key design considerations for and potential barriers to effective implementation. The review looked at evidence generated...

This brief focuses on how policymakers can make decisions about EdTech to support learners with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) while offering policymakers the rationale and tools to move towards an inclusive approach. It also includes a detailed annex with descriptions, costs, availability, and examples of accessible and assistive technologies.

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices in emergency contexts. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear picture of ‘what works’ regarding EdTech in emergencies. Crucially, it also aims to create an understanding of the conditions necessary to ensure the effectiveness of these interventions. Accordingly,...

To inform the development of Malawi's National Numeracy Programme (NNP), EdTech Hub worked with the Directorate of Quality Assurance Services (Malawi), Cambridge Education, and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to examine the NNP’s components during its extended pilot phase during the 2022–2023 school year, and explore how these might be refined to improve teaching and learning of mathematics in Malawi. In-depth qualitative research in four schools was undertaken to...

This EdTech Hub rapid scan outlines the efficacy of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) to better understand the potential impact of investment in the digitisation of teaching and learning materials to enhance access to education and learning for refugee children. The focus is on research that can highlight any evidence on the efficacy of interactive whiteboards in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts characterised by high numbers of school-age refugees, with Turkey as a key case study....

This report is one of several on the research project on the Impact of GIS-Supported Teacher Allocation in Sierra Leone (Hub-Led Research Programme 3). The education workforce is the most important school-level determinant of student learning. In Sierra Leone, the pupil-to-qualified-teacher ratio rises from 44:1 for schools in urban centres to 76:1 for schools in rural areas. Meanwhile, an average of a quarter of the workforce is absent from school on any given day. This informal...
