Gilgit-Baltistan, located in the northernmost part of Pakistan, is a region known for its mountainous geography. Its complex geography creates challenges for education, such as geographic isolation and infrastructural limitations. While technology offers the potential to overcome these barriers of isolation, several infrastructural and capacity barriers prevent equitable access to EdTech. The Government of Gilgit-Baltistan has strived to respond to these barriers by introducing a more...

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 the potential for participatory methods to bring teachers closer to the decision-making table. Insights from those closest to the work shed light on the daily contextual realities that can determine the mechanisms for optimal success or failure of a programme. However, these voices are often neglected...

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,...

The Covid-19 pandemic has catalysed the need for technology-enhanced education globally. This is no different in Bangladesh, where the Education Section of the UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office is seeking a better understanding of the role and potential of EdTech to improve numeracy skills among the most marginalised learners. In efforts to do this, UNICEF Bangladesh partnered with EdTech Hub to in which EdTech interventions contribute the most to numeracy learning for marginalised learners...

The third of a trilogy of Theories of Change (TOCs) that focuses on parents and caregivers as key agents of change in the development of an increasingly technology-enhanced education system in Bangladesh. The TOC was created following a period of desk research and in-country stakeholder workshops. It offers a theory for how parents’ and caregivers’ experiences in diverse programmes and initiatives will enable them to support children to improved educational outcomes, and take advantage of...

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic increase in the role educational technology (EdTech) plays in education delivery. As schools have closed worldwide, EdTech has played a critical role in keeping children learning. However, as the pandemic has persisted, the optimism around EdTech has plateaued. It has given way to fears that children who are using EdTech are not learning, and that the most marginalised children are falling further behind due to the emergence of a digital...

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...

During the Covid-19 pandemic, EdTech has been used in many different ways to keep children learning in Pakistan. This has ranged from educational radio broadcasting to children in remote mountains, to TV channels being used to deliver classes nationwide. Yet, as the pandemic has developed, this picture has become more complex. Optimism in EdTech’s promise has given way to fears that the most marginalised children — particularly those who cannot access technological solutions — are falling...

Over the past few months, the EdTech Hub team has analysed and mapped the EdTech research landscape in Sierra Leone. In doing so, we have met a number of individuals and organisations that are exploring if and how technology can support the country’s education sector. In week four, we met with Arthur Saidu, Eusebio Rincon Casado and Maggie Shergill from…

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...
