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 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...

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of the existing literature on the use of radio in education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The present RER has been produced in response to the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19), and the resulting widespread shutdown of schools. It, therefore, highlights transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations caused by COVID-19. Established approaches to delivering distance...

This document serves as a practical guide for implementers and decision-makers on how available technologies can effectively support teaching and learning in schools worldwide. Drawing on existing evidence of successful EdTech interventions in low-resource settings, particularly within Southeast Asia, it offers guidance on the essential steps in the early phases of EdTech implementation. The report also provides recommendations for transitioning from the initial conception phase to...

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of approximately 90,000 schools across Kenya, causing over 18 million pre-primary, primary, and secondary school learners to be out of school throughout 2020. These lockdown measures of Covid-19 are expected to amplify gender inequalities in education and girls’ access to school, with girls likely to have experienced losses in learning during the pandemic to a greater extent than their male counterparts (⇡Malala Fund, 2020). To enable continued...

This report examines gender disparities in the use of educational technology (EdTech) among students in Pakistan, with the aim of informing policies that foster more inclusive and equitable digital learning environments. Drawing on data from a survey of over 2,000 teachers and interviews with EdTech stakeholders in Islamabad, the report explores how sociocultural norms and parental attitudes shape differential access to and use of EdTech at home—particularly disadvantaging female students....

The Cohort Learning Handbook captures EdTech Hub’s approach to building cohorts on its Evidence-Led Entrepreneurship Course. The course aims to help entrepreneurs adopt and utilise evidence to learn and to scale their products and services. The Handbook is for individuals and organisations who support EdTech entrepreneurs (e.g., accelerators, entrepreneurship programmes, and funders). Building a cohort supports entrepreneurs to learn quickly and more confidently as a result of learning with,...

This is the first in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the optimal number of minutes for pre-primary learners on a classroom-integrated digital personalised learning tool to optimise learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found different levels of session duration impacted on literacy and numeracy outcomes, with the findings for numeracy dependent on grade level....

This is the third in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the impact of repeating learning content for pre-primary learners on learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B test found that content repetition had an impact on literacy and numeracy outcomes for PP2 learners. PP2 learners’ usage of the DPL tool was significantly reduced with content...

This protocol provides a detailed overview of a cluster-randomised controlled trial (RCT) being undertaken in pre-primary schools in Kenya. The RCT seeks to rigorously investigate the impact of a classroom-integrated digital personalised learning (DPL) tool on early grade numeracy and literacy learning outcomes. The protocol is being disseminated prior to endline data analysis to promote transparency and a comprehensive understanding of the RCT approach and design. This protocol was...

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...

As neurodivergent learners continue to face multifaceted challenges that affect their education, education systems, environments, and practices have struggled to address their needs adequately. This rapid evidence synthesis explores the current state of evidence regarding the use of educational technologies (EdTech) for neurodivergent learners in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The review was conducted in two phases to offer complementary insights on the topic. The first phase...

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...

This document was produced in response to a request from the World Bank Mongolia team to: 1. Outline the evidence of effective practices on remedial education generally. 2. Explore appropriate uses of EdTech to support remedial education. 3. Summarise the implications of these findings for Mongolia.

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to teaching practices and pedagogies for emergency remote learning. The main aim of this review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear understanding of the available global evidence on effective practices in teaching when students are educated remotely during emergencies, and to assess the relevance of this evidence for low- and middle-income contexts. The...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at the potential for participatory methods to bring teachers closer to the decision-making table. Insights from those closest to the work shed light on the daily contextual realities that can determine the mechanisms for optimal success or failure of a programme. However, these voices are often neglected...
