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...

Policymakers in low- and lower-middle-income countries are in a bind: while more complex EMIS designs may make processes more likely to fail following donor exit, simple EMIS designs do not provide enough information to track the effects of reforms and progress addressing the learning crisis. Even for basic measures, EMIS appear to generate inaccurate data in many cases. Reflections on EMIS implementation challenges point to demand and supply issues, with the former being the more...

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. Keywords: digital...
