I was born in Kiremba village (last village) where injustices in access to education are seen as normal. girls cannot access education due to long distances and indigenous cultural beliefs such as a girl child is not supposed to go to school, its for boys. This motivated me to advocate for their right to quality education and hence innovative solutions.
our solution identifies village members in the community and train them to uplift their formal and informal education teaching/delivery skills and digital skills. After successfully completing the training, they become EDU AT EDGE Community Educator (CEs) and are deployed in the community with android tablets that contain the EDU AT EDGE application to deliver home-based education to young mothers, children with disabilities, and those living in rural villages and refugee camps. This application provides a Technology Enhanced Learning System (TELS) ensuring the delivery of quality education. In case of consultation from more senior teachers, our Android App offers consultation interfaces between senior teachers and CEs, and students and CEs. Our TELS also provides study/reading materials and pre-recorded lesions on both formal and informal education to the students and teaching materials to CEs.
