Title
EdTech Policy Rapid Scan for Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
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 marginalised learners. The report provides an overview of existing policies, while the highlighted trends offer insights for future policy development. Keywords: EdTech policy; education policy; sub-Saharan Africa; EdTech governance; digital learning; digital infrastructure An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org/
