This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of existing research on the use of mobile phone-based messaging (including SMS, and messaging through apps such as WhatsApp) to support education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This topic was chosen as the focus for a RER in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures, as this form of technology has been adopted as part of some countries’ methods of providing continuing education during closures and disruption. As...

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a wealth of research emerged to quantify student learning and the accessibility of technology for learners. However, existing evidence highlights that access to technology did not equate to learning, yet few studies have investigated the underlying reasons behind this. As a correlating factor of learning achievement, this report investigates student motivation to learn, as perceived by teachers, and how this may have been influenced by their use of remote...

This report provides an overview of the teacher deployment process in Sierra Leone prior to and including 2022. Through interviews with key stakeholders in the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) and the Teaching Service Commission (TSC), we look at lessons learnt from the deployment process and next steps for how teacher deployment can be implemented. Although there are a number of volunteer teachers in Sierra Leone, the TSC are aiming to increase the number of...

This document was produced in response to a request from the UNICEF country office and Ministry of Education team of El Salvador that was submitted to the EdTech Hub Helpdesk in November 2021. The UNICEF team requested a curated list of global blended and hybrid initiatives with a focus on initiatives that have used a multimodal strategy, highlighting effective and ineffective practices. This report does not aim to cover every leading and innovative blended / hybrid initiative with relevance...

This resource is based on preliminary insights from EdTech Hub’s emerging study of Learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. The intention is to support stakeholders to identify feasible ways of using EdTech in response to Pakistan’s 2022 floods. The design adopted for this resource balances generating primary insights from flood-affected parents and teachers quickly and complementing these with insights from the existing evidence base on...

This report is one of several on the research project on the Impact of GIS-Supported Teacher Allocation in Sierra Leone (Hub-Led Research Programme 3). The education workforce is the most important school-level determinant of student learning. In Sierra Leone, the pupil-to-qualified-teacher ratio rises from 44:1 for schools in urban centres to 76:1 for schools in rural areas. Meanwhile, an average of a quarter of the workforce is absent from school on any given day. This informal...

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 shares the experience and learning from the activities carried out as part of the Government of Tanzania's efforts to operationalise its National Framework for Teacher Continuous Professional Development (TCPD), which shifts TCPD from discreet workshops to cost-effective, ongoing, school-based professional development. It is among the first of its kind at a national level, particularly in low- and middle-income country contexts. Through a collaborative and responsive approach of...

Building on EdTech Hub's preliminary insights, this extended resource explores Learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. The intention is to support stakeholders in identifying scalable and feasible ways of using EdTech in response to Pakistan’s 2022 floods and improving learning responses in future climate emergencies. We identified these approaches by interviewing flood-affected parents and teachers, government education officers,...

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...

The Malawi National Numeracy Programme (NNP) was designed in 2020 in partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Education and Cambridge Education (Mott McDonald), funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Building on findings from a prior qualitative review of the NNP's programme components, EdTech Hub proposed a new phase of design-based implementation research (DBIR) to be undertaken in Term 2 of the 2022–2023 school year to refine the school-based teacher...
