Studies have been carried out on the use of geographical information systems (GIS) in teacher training, especially in the developed countries. In southern African countries, nevertheless, the scenario is different because GIS education appears to be a rather new field of study. This study therefore used systematic review to collect data.

Instructional coaching has improved student outcomes in the United States, and may help to solve Kenya's literacy problems. Coaching is costly, however, and evidence is lacking regarding the most cost-efficient teacher-to-coach ratio. We used student literacy outcome data from more than 8000 students participating in the Kenya Primary Math and Reading Initiative—a randomized controlled trial of instructional interventions in public and nonformal schools—to fill this gap. Coaches in larger...
