The Rise of EduTech in Africa
EduTech, or educational technology, combines IT and educational theory to enhance learning. In Africa, where educational resources can be scarce, EduTech provides an alternative route to traditional classroom environments. It ranges from simple SMS-based lesson plans to advanced platforms offering courses from around the globe.
