Ed-tech: Global South Priorities for Equity and Inclusion
About the project
While technology is here to stay, it is still unclear how to realise the promises it holds for education in Global South countries. The question of how to improve results with educational technology (Ed-tech)—particularly learning—while reducing inequalities among student groups remains a critical policy challenge.
This project delves into the state of Ed-tech across low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Middle East and North Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Three regional studies discuss the state of Ed-tech in primary and secondary schools in each region, while the global report highlights knowledge gaps that ought to be addressed to promote equitable and inclusive learning in future Ed-tech initiatives. You can access the synthesis document of the entire project here.
