Children STILL leave school in low-income countries without the ability to read and write. With little support, their teachers have few opportunities to develop their classroom practice. Together, we can provide vital digital training via smartphones, and change the lives of thousands of children.

Schools cannot exist without good teachers. BUT teachers (our superheroes) are often the last to receive support or investment in their classroom practice, despite working in the most challenging settings. The result? Poor learning outcomes and stifled life chances for children. Covid-19 has simply exacerbated the global learning crisis. Prior to the pandemic, 80% of primary aged children in lower income countries were not learning despite being in school. We invest in teachers: simple.
We provide short, easy to use, low-data digital courses contextualised for teachers in lower income countries. Accessible via any device - as more and more teachers have a smartphone - we include relevant pedagogy, evidence-based strategies and activities. Ongoing access to professional development results in small changes to teaching practice but profound effects on learning outcomes. Children learning more gives them better life chances and opportunities.
