This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to teaching practices and pedagogies for emergency remote learning. The main aim of this review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear understanding of the available global evidence on effective practices in teaching when students are educated remotely during emergencies, and to assess the relevance of this evidence for low- and middle-income contexts. The...

This report presents a rapid evaluation of AI-generated lesson plans currently being used in public schools in rural and urban Islamabad under the National Institute of Excellence in Teacher Education (NIETE). These centrally developed, scripted lesson plans are aligned with the national curriculum and built on the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model, with additional elements of the 5E and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) models in science, and the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA)...

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 how in-service Communities of Practice (CoPs) support teacher learning and how EdTech can enhance this aspect of teacher professional development (TPD) in low- and middle-income countries. In-service CoPs have become an important component of TPD, creating spaces where teachers can share their knowledge...

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices in emergency contexts. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear picture of ‘what works’ regarding EdTech in emergencies. Crucially, it also aims to create an understanding of the conditions necessary to ensure the effectiveness of these interventions. Accordingly,...

In 2024, the World Bank submitted a request to EdTech Hub's Helpdesk to support the Government of Sierra Leone in developing a National Digital Learning Strategy. The Hub initiated the process with the creation of this digital learning landscape analysis. The report identifies achievements and progress to date, as well as key challenges and priority areas going forward. It is based on primary and secondary data collection methods, including key informant interviews, focus group discussions,...

The study reported here is for Phase 2 of the research project known as ‘The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based Teacher Continuous Professional Development Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania’ and part of the global Empowering Teachers Initiative (ETI), which comprises 10 country projects. It is closely aligned with the implementation of ‘MEWAKA’ (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini) or Teacher continuous professional development (TCPD), and the Tanzania National TCPD implementation...

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. This includes policies, government leadership, private-sector partnerships, and digital infrastructure for education. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive. Nonetheless, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries, and in this case, Lao People’s Democratic...

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...

MEWAKA (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini, or teacher continuous professional development [TCPD]) is a landmark teacher professional development programme being implemented by the Government of Tanzania. The research project, 'The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based TPD Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania, using Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR)', closely aligns with the Tanzania National TCPD implementation plan, to evaluate the implementation of MEWAKA at school level....

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 behaviour change strategy of leveraging concise messages at strategic decision points (i.e., ‘nudging’) to influence the behaviour of a recipient towards a desired outcome. We focus on EdTech Hub’s work concerning nudge messaging. It builds on work from messaging interventions in Ghana and Kenya,...

This publication is one part of a series of Rapid Evidence Reviews (RERs) that has been produced by EdTech Hub as part of the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (SAGE) Programme. The programme aims to enhance foundational learning opportunities for all by breaking down barriers that hinder the educational achievements of girls and marginalised learners. The purpose of the RERs is to provide education decision-makers with accessible, evidence-based summaries of good...

The Cohort Learning Handbook captures EdTech Hub’s approach to building cohorts on its Evidence-Led Entrepreneurship Course. The course aims to help entrepreneurs adopt and utilise evidence to learn and to scale their products and services. The Handbook is for individuals and organisations who support EdTech entrepreneurs (e.g., accelerators, entrepreneurship programmes, and funders). Building a cohort supports entrepreneurs to learn quickly and more confidently as a result of learning with,...

Commissioned as a Helpdesk request from the FCDO-funded Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE) project, this EdTech Hub rapid scan provides an overview of the EdTech landscape in Nigeria. Given the PLANE programme’s focus on northern Nigeria, this rapid scan also assesses state-level policies and infrastructural challenges in three northern Nigerian states — Jigawa, Kaduna, and Kano. Furthermore, this rapid scan builds on the evidence presented in the previous EdTech Hub rapid...

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,...
