EdTech in Cambodia: A Rapid ScanThinley, S., Hayat, A., Thang, S., & Mazari, H. - 2024 - EdTech Hub
EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. These include 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, in this case, Cambodia. This report was...

Driven by a core team of volunteer teacher leaders, OTT integrates educational technology with broader concerns such as mental health, safety, and student engagement. The report examines the network’s evolution, identifies key factors behind its success, and offers recommendations to guide its continued growth and scaling...

This paper outlines how EdTech programming can adopt a gender-transformative approach to improve gender equity in access and learning outcomes. It explains what the term ‘gender-transformative change’ means, and why it is needed. Some key dimensions of gender-transformative approaches in the specific context of EdTech initiatives are outlined, looking at how different approaches can enhance access to education and learning opportunities and improve outcomes, and challenge discriminatory...

This Helpdesk report was created in response to a request from the World Bank Malawi Education Team for a curated list of resources on examples of EdTech interventions targeting out-of-school children and adolescents to inform an ASA (Advisory Services and Analytics) output. The ASA output will provide policy options to improve second-chance learning and foundational skills for out-of-school children (OOSC). To provide the World Bank Malawi team with adequate information on the above. This...

This exploratory mixed-methods study investigates the factors that shape where teachers want to work in Sierra Leone. We identify five dominant factors: monetary incentives, school conditions, opportunities for professional development and support, school location, and relationships with the school and the community. Importantly, these factors combine to push and pull teachers to different locations. Moreover, the factors interact with individual teacher characteristics such as gender,...

This report presents findings from a global mapping exercise of 471 national digital platforms across 184 countries that was conducted by EdTech Hub following a Helpdesk request from UNICEF. The mapping exercise focused on examining three key areas of availability, usability, and inclusivity of national digital learning platforms. The study found that 32% of identified national digital learning platforms no longer exist, have not been updated since 2020, or have links that do not work. Only...

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of the existing literature on the use of technology in supporting girls’ education in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The RER has been produced in response to the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19), and the resulting widespread global shutdown of schools. It therefore has an emphasis on transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations to the continuation of schooling caused by...

Autism is a spectrum disorder that occurs globally with increasing numbers of children and adults being identified with this condition. Although rates are higher in more affluent nations, the bulk of people with autism reside in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). However, most do not have access to timely and appropriate support. The types of services delivered in high income countries are often ill-suited to the needs and resources of LMICs. Rather alternative forms of provision need...

With recent advances in high-resolution satellite imagery and machine vision algorithms, fine-grain geospatial data on population are now widely available: kilometer-by-kilometer, worldwide. In this paper, we showcase how researchers and policymakers in developing countries can leverage these novel data to precisely identify “education deserts” – localized areas where families lack physical access to education – at unprecedented scale, detail, and cost-effectiveness. We demonstrate how these...

In 2021 the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO), UNESCO, UNHCR, the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and EdTech Hub began collaborating to develop a Regional Learning Hub (RLH). The aim of the RLH is to create a platform to provide teaching and learning content aligned to the curricula of different countries in the region that is appropriate to local contexts. The RLH is envisaged as a platform where digital learning content has been...

This rapid scan presents a curated list of EdTech policies in sub-Saharan Africa, compiled in response to a request from the World Bank. Based on desk research from mid-2024, it highlights that most policies predate COVID-19, with few new ones emerging post-2020. Many countries lack dedicated EdTech policies, instead relying on broader ICT or education strategies. Common themes include digital infrastructure, distance learning, and teacher training, while gaps remain in support for...
