The current study is the third in a series of research studies, which aim to generate evidence that can support the MBSSE and TSC with their teacher allocation and deployment strategy. Our first study investigated teacher preferences for school choice and uncovered important considerations for teacher deployment. Following this, we investigated mobility patterns for teachers who are on the government payroll, and payroll teacher retention rates. The latter study helped us understand where...

This is the second 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 whether introducing a timer alongside digitised lesson plans impacts upon teachers’ lesson plan usage. The A/B test found that providing a timer did not influence how much time teachers spent on digitised lesson plans. While, on average, teachers in the timer group tended to spend less time on lesson...

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...

To better understand the use of EdTech interventions as part of response to the Covid-19 pandemic, EdTech Hub commissioned ten small-scale research studies in five low- and middle-income countries: Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, and Sierra Leone. This paper includes insight into research methodologies across these studies, with particularly interesting findings on how EdTech effectiveness is being measured. A semi-structured thematic analysis further provides insights in relation to...

The answer to the question ‘What is cost-effective EdTech?’ is highly nuanced, as it depends on the choice of the initiative, its design, implementation, intended audience, and how the local context is addressed. We compiled select case studies that examine how EdTech was used in cost-effective and less cost-effective ways. An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org

Digital technology offers the potential to address educational challenges in resource-poor settings. This meta-analysis examines the impact of students' use of technology that personalises and adapts to learning level in low- and middle-income countries. Following a systematic search for research between 2007 and 2020, 16 randomised controlled trials were identified in five countries. Studies involved 53,029 learners aged 6–15 years. Coding examined learning domain (mathematics and...
