We make learning easy by offering a mobile based learning management system that can be accessed offline. Essentially our solution is designed:
To ensure the continuation of education in the event of a prolonged school closure or student absence, for example due to lack of fees, lack of sanitary wear during menstrual periods or due to global pandemics such as the recent COVID-19. Learning continuity is a critical component of school emergency management that a lot of African education systems can’t provide for their learners. Learning continuity promotes the continuation of teaching and learning despite circumstances that interrupt normal school attendance for one or more students. Thus through our offline solution learners can access learning material anywhere and at anytime. To ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all learners According to UNICEF, an education system is inclusive if it includes all students and supports them to learn. No one should be excluded. Also according to UNESCO, inclusion is a dynamic approach of responding positively to pupil diversity and seeing individual differences not as problems, but as opportunities for enriching learning. By providing an offline learning application, our solution not only makes provisions for ensuring for parity or equality in access to education in quantitative terms, but also pushes for the qualitative property of equity or fairness in access to education. To ensure inclusivity, our solution also caters to learners with visual and hearing impairments. To ensure digital literacy which means breaking the digital divide. As, digital literacy has become almost as important as traditional literacy, our solution seeks to break the digital divide and improve the digital literacy of learners from disadvantaged communities so as to prepare them for a digital future. We realize that two persons with the same capabilities and goals may end up with different outcomes because of differences in access to digital technology. Therefore, learners on the wrong side of the digital divide may be increasingly excluded from knowledge based societies and economies. To ensure access to quality education that is curriculum and technology based even for learners from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Learnkit will make learning easier for learners by providing them with an alternative to the traditional methods of learning that are failing to ensure learning continuity and inclusivity, as well as digital literacy and quality education. If more learners are able to access learning material anywhere and anytime there will be a drastic reduction in the number of children who have no access to educational facilities. For Africa to capitalize on its demographic dividend, the future workforce must first of all be educated, and our solution avails itself to ensuring, for example that, every young African boy who cannot go to school because their fees haven’t been paid or every young African girl child who cannot go to school because they are on their period but don’t have sanitary wear can access learning content offline via their mobile phones at home.
