Developing sustainable and scalable educational initiatives is a key challenge in low-income countries where donor-funded short-term projects are limited by both contextual factors and programme design. In this commentary we examine some of the issues related to in-service teacher development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, grounded predominantly in our work of over five years of iteratively developing, refining and evaluating an intensive school-based professional learning programme...

Previous large-scale education technology interventions have shown only modest impacts on student achievement. Building on results from an earlier randomized controlled trial of three different applications of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on primary education in Kenya, the Tusome Early Grade Reading Activity developed the National Tablets Program. The National Tablets Program is integrated into the Tusome activity by providing tablets to each of more than 1,200...

Learner-centred education (LCE) has been a recurrent theme in many national education policies in the global South, and has had wide donor support through aid programmes and smaller projects and localised innovations. However, the history of the implementation of LCE in different contexts is riddled with stories of failures grand and small. In coming to understand how LCE has been conceived, researched, and reported in relation to developing country contexts, a good starting point is the...

This chapter discusses the main challenges facing both governments and the international donor community in the East African region as they implement effective teacher professional development. It reviews the emerging evidence suggesting educational quality is largely obtained by engaging teachers in reviewing their pedagogical processes at the school and classroom levels. It concludes with a discussion of the key priorities for policymakers in Kenya, Tanzania and East Africa more generally...

This dissertation explores how continuous teacher learning circles (TLCs) support the implementation of a learner-centered pedagogy in grades 5-10 at a school in a long-term refugee community located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Learner-centered pedagogy has gained notice as a means to improve educational outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa (Vavrus & Bartlett, 2012). Learner-centered pedagogy may be defined as education rooted in the interests of students, their prior knowledge,...

The study primarily explored the challenges of teaching in rural basic schools in Ghana. Qualitative research method through semi-structured interviews and document analyses were used as data collection instruments. The participants for the study included six educational field workers which constituted a district education officer (Circuit Supervisor), two head teachers and three classroom teachers. Priority of the findings was highlighted on the provision of accommodation with adequate...

The increased popularity of tablets in general has led to uptake in education. We critically review the literature reporting use of tablets by primary and secondary school children across the curriculum, with a particular emphasis on learning outcomes. The systematic review methodology was used, and our literature search resulted in 33 relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 23 met the minimum quality criteria and were examined in detail (16 reporting positive learning...

One of the overall objectives of the EdTech Hub is to conduct a series of literature reviews on the state of educational technology in primary and secondary school settings within low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Given the variety of approaches which can be considered as ‘educational technology’ and the range of settings which are LMICs, the scale of the task presents an initial challenge. Furthermore, it would be valuable to design the initial literature search in such a way that...
