In Sierra Leone and Liberia, 95% of young adult women who have completed primary school still can't read a simple sentence. Education in Africa is faced with challenges of high dropout rates, low grades in Math and Science and low literacy levels and language skills. Large class sizes have put a strain on teachers and they are not able to provide effective teaching to students. Parents from poor backgrounds are not able to afford quality reading and learning materials such as textbooks, pamphlets and other resources that can help their children improve their learning outcomes. Parents receive report cards at the end of the school term or year, and this data is not actionable. The reports are not detailed and can not provide sufficient information to diagnose a child’s problem area.
