How do we get teachers to integrate ICT effectively into teaching and learning, and into their other administrative duties? This presentation explores how to use the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (CFT) and the OER Commons repository of aligned OER to build teacher professional development courses.
This report highlights eleven important lessons about youth entrepreneurship from the first decade of Anzisha's work in Africa. It demonstrates Anzisha's understanding of the future of work in Africa and the underpinning dynamics of youth entrepreneurs.
Andrew Moore and Kirsty von Gogh discuss lessons learned from the British Council/DHET A21 Guidelines project. Based on our experience and statistics gleaned from British Council/DHET A21 guidelines, we identify good practices for an African educational institutions in terms of designing, developing and deploying media campaigns.
Zambia’s seventh national development plan (7NDP) sets ambitious targets for economic growth and poverty reduction. Technology can play an important role as Zambia advances this vision for economic transformation. The introduction of digital systems can also have a transformative effect on government. Improved access to digital technologies and effective use of data and digital systems can thus be powerful tools in the quest to increase private sector productivity, enhance public sector efficiency and effectiveness, and improve the accountability of both the public and private sectors.
The South African government is aiming to pass several reforms across core elements of the digital economy, recognizing the need for new policy directions and preparing for the fourth industrial revolution (4iR). While South Africa’s wealthy households have broad access to quality and relatively affordable internet, people earning less than South African rand (ZAR) 7000 a month are largely unconnected. This report reviews how the digital divide affects the foundations of the digital economy and provides policy options for bridging the divide.
Openly licensed resources are ‘free’ to access, but there are significant creation, adaptation, production, and use costs. The long-term sustainability of local-language publishing requires that these costs be met fairly, using financial models that will enable people to establish, grow, and maintain effective content creation organizations. This research aims to raise awareness of the various costs that go into producing and translating storybooks and of the relationship between investment and quality.
Anzisha embarked on a research-led process to identify a series of stories or messages that will speak of experiences that shift mindsets and create realistic and positive representations of youth entrepreneurship. The focus of the research is on highlighting key behaviours/decisions and support structures that resulted in positive outcomes for young entrepreneurs, as well as showcasing the contributions made by very young entrepreneurs.
The Green Paper provides a contextual background the #AnzishaScenario campaign, exploring 3 scenarios in which entrepreneurship is always seen as important to job creation – but one where VERY YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS are prioritized.
The Anzisha Prize aims to inspire and support very young Africans with leadership potential to pursue and succeed in entrepreneurship. This Theory of Change focuses on its vision of developing successful entrepreneurial businesses run by young people that employ other young people, leading to economic development and reduction of youth unemployment in Africa.
Though much progress has been made, the current level of educational achievement in many developing countries remains low. One proposed solution for improving the quality of education is the use of technology. However, the empirical evidence regarding the success of technology interventions, including interactive smartboards, at improving student outcomes is mixed. Project Sankoré creates a digital classroom through the introduction of simple interactive whiteboard equipment consisting of an interactive whiteboard, a computer, a data projector, and digital resources.
