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 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 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...

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...

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...

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 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 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....

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,...

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 how in-service Communities of Practice (CoPs) support teacher learning and how EdTech can enhance this aspect of teacher professional development (TPD) in low- and middle-income countries. In-service CoPs have become an important component of TPD, creating spaces where teachers can share their knowledge...

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 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...

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,...

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...
