The Last Mile Education: Collaborative Solutions for Rural and Marginalized Communites

EdTech Mondays Africa August 2-26 edition, showcasing the youth panel and virtual panel for this episode, 16 x 9

What does quality education look like when classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are stretched, and learners come from more than 20 different nationalities?

The August edition of EdTech Mondays Africa spotlights Refugee hosting Kakuma Municipality in Kenya, where young people share their lived experiences and experts discuss practical solutions to improve access, continuity and quality education.
