Policymakers in low- and lower-middle-income countries are in a bind: while more complex EMIS designs may make processes more likely to fail following donor exit, simple EMIS designs do not provide enough information to track the effects of reforms and progress addressing the learning crisis. Even for basic measures, EMIS appear to generate inaccurate data in many cases. Reflections on EMIS implementation challenges point to demand and supply issues, with the former being the 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 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,...

Acceptable use policies (AUPs) aim to define how digital and technological tools and services (both devices and ICT services) should be used in or by education systems and actors. These policies address the rights, privileges, responsibilities, and ramifications associated with the use of technology in education spaces and for educational purposes. In doing so, AUPs attempt to promote good practice and responsible, safe use of the internet and digital technologies. This brief uses global...
