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...

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. This includes policies, government leadership, private-sector partnerships, and digital infrastructure for education. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive; nonetheless, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries and, in this case, Timor-Leste. This report...

The use of Short Messaging Service (SMS) for education has grown in recent years, drawing particular attention to supporting school-level learners, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This renewed interest has prompted questions about how this form of educational technology could be used in the longer term. However, despite being used in many Covid-19 responses, there are few documented examples of innovative applications in this field during the pandemic, which represents a gap in the literature....

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...

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...

Academic databases are a fundamental source for identifying relevant literature in a field of study. Scopus contains more than 90 million records and indexes around 12,000 documents per day. However, this context and the cumulative nature of science itself make it difficult to selectively identify information. In addition, academic database search tools are not very intuitive, and require an iterative and relatively slow process of searching and evaluation. In response to these...

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 rapid scoping study has been conducted by EdTech Hub and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Secretariat through the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls Education (ASEAN-UK SAGE) programme. Through the ASEAN-UK SAGE programme, secondary research has been conducted on the current situation of out-of-school children and youth (OOSCY) in Southeast Asia by Dabrowski et al. (2024) and Barnes et al. (2024). Building on these efforts, this study provides...

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 report provides a landscape analysis of available data collection and visualisation tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Digital data collection has the potential to facilitate cost-effective, adaptable, timely and reliable data to inform decision-making. The value proposition of these tools, as opposed to paper-based data collection, is that they have the potential to save valuable time and resources, minimise errors, and facilitate the sharing of...

This article explores the current status and future directions of mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MTB MLE) and the use of technology in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on the use of minoritised mother tongues. An initial literature review of available academic sources in multiple languages reveals a lack of evidence on the use of technology in MTB MLE across different countries, especially multilingual contexts with greater linguistic diversity. To understand...
