Engaging parents and caregivers in EdTech is critical to foundational learning in Kenya
Abstract
Kenya, sometimes called the ‘Silicon Savannah’ of Africa, is home to one of the most vibrant EdTech ecosystems in Africa (see Otieno & Taddesse, 2020). Building on government initiatives such as the flagship Digital Literacy Programme (DLP), the country’s Covid-19 education response (Ngware & Ochieng, 2020) included tremendous efforts to provide distance learning solutions. This week, the Kenya EdTech Summit 2022 is bringing together many of those who have been making this happen to discuss the role of evidence and collaboration to accelerate the pace of progress in Kenya.
