The South African education system is deeply unjust because a child’s place of birth, skin colour and family’s income largely determines their educational attainment. Understanding future trends and developments can assist stakeholders in planning and decision making. Better decisions could ultimately improve the education system. Therefore, this research aims to answer three questions: What trends could impact the South African education system? What opportunities and threats arise due to...

Kenya has been lauded as having one of the most progressive and effective education systems in Africa. Significant investments in education funding, innovative technology-enabled approaches to improve teaching and learning, and committed leadership make Kenya an example for neighbours and others across the world. However, at a sub-national level, significant variances in education access and quality arise. While many improvements have been made to participation, quality, equity, and...

Background: Schools can play a vital role in the resettlement of refugee children and their families. Yet, the body of research examining school environmental factors that support the mental health and acculturation of refugee children is methodologically heterogeneous, investigates numerous and disparate school factors, and is often "hidden" in broader qualitative studies. This limits the capacity to apply the findings in a practical manner. Methods: Based on PRISMA statement principles, we...

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 ongoing crises of geopolitical conflict and climate change have forced millions of children worldwide into displacement, disrupting their education, mental health, and access to food security. This researchin-progress paper reports on the design and evaluation of a mobile solution, EduCare, which aims to address the intertwined needs of forcibly displaced school-aged children. Building upon previous research, EduCare integrates educational resources, mental health support, and...

I’m Dr Björn Haßler, one of the three Directors of Research for the programme. Research, and particularly at-scale research, is a core focus for the #EdTechHub and that’s why we have three Directors of Research, who will also introduce themselves. I am — we all are — extremely happy that we have been awarded the programme. We, like all our competitors, worked hard for around 1.5 years until the final submission. However, this work paid off! It means we can get going on the important mission.

This strategic foresight study aims to understand the shifts that might take place in education systems in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts, given developments in the increase in global conflict and crises that might occur over the next 10 years. It begins by capturing twelve trends, relating to conflict and crisis, that might affect the development of education systems in LMICs. After identifying trends, we combined them to sketch five concrete, tangible scenarios. This...

Despite repeated calls for education systems to respond flexibly to enable all children to participate in formal education, limited progress has been made for those we term Mobile Out of School Children (MOOSCs). Livelihood-related mobility often precipitates a process of learner drop out during the year. Retention of such children, and reducing the risk of their relapsing into MOOSC status, requires a re-framing of ‘school’ as a spatially dispersed system, or network, to accommodate learner...

Planning for extreme heat challenges is an urgent task for urban planners, designers, and managers because urban heat is a new normal climate-related challenge for many cities. However, how to integrate existing scientific outcomes and achieve the transformation from research to practice is a critical question. This study aims to frame a heat-resilient infrastructure system and an urban heat management plan (UHMP) to better promote heat solution implementation. This study analyses...

Greater numbers of students with Autism are being educated in mainstream settings, enrolled in regular classes, placed with ‘regular’ students, and with teachers who often have limited experience or knowledge about their specific disability. Teachers, with limited knowledge of disability, struggle to successfully include these students into their classes. However, a powerful predictor of successful inclusion of students with a disability into mainstream classrooms is the attitude of the...

The EdTech Hub’s sandbox approach offers implementers and decision makers a clear way to implement and scale only the most effective EdTech interventions. In this position paper we share our view on why EdTech isn’t scaling and how we see the sandboxes approach addressing them.

On 29 June 2022, Bertha Centre, EdTech Hub, Open Development & Education and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) presented a workshop on Tackling Coloniality in EdTech. The workshop was hosted by Ntombini Marrengane (Bertha Institute). This slide deck shares the resources and activities used at the workshop, in the hope that it inspires others to host similar workshops that critically reflect on how coloniality can be embedded in EdTech designs, projects, programmes, processes,...

This research study aims to investigate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of a tech-supported, decentralised, and school-based teacher continuous professional development (TCPD) model, to improve learning outcomes in rural Tanzanian primary schools. The research will test and iteratively improve the national TCPD model and roll-out (including the semi-structured Communities of Learning), as outlined in the Tanzanian National TCPD Implementation Plan (2021). We seek to...

This report presents the findings of a landscape analysis of EdTech interventions designed for the Southeast Asian context. The analysis aims to understand the extent to which EdTech providers and funders in Southeast Asia address the needs of marginalised learners through their priorities in design, investment, and scaling decisions. It focuses on initiatives targeting marginalised groups and those with potential to scale. The research for the study included interviews with funders engaged...

This strategic foresight study aims to understand the shifts that might take place in education systems in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts, given developments in artificial intelligence (AI) that might occur over the next 10 years. It begins by capturing fourteen trends, relating to AI that might affect the development of education systems in LMICs. After identifying trends, we combined them to sketch five concrete, tangible scenarios. This understanding will inform a...

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...
