Democratizing Education Technology

A key pillar of the Centre for Innovative Teaching and Learning is to demystify and catalyze the use of technology in education through conversations that inform and engage the public on how technology can democratize education and improve learning across the continent.

Discussing EdTech since 2019

EdTech Mondays began as informal conversations among EdTech entrepreneurs in Kigali, Rwanda. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the conversations graduated to Facebook Live discussions. Later the same year, it was elevated to broadcast format with start-off shows in Kenya and Ghana.

In 2021, an integrated, Africa-wide monthly conversation of EdTech Mondays was launched in partnership with CNBC Africa and streams on the Mastercard Foundation Young Africa Works Facebook Page. Mastercard Foundation offices in Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and most recently WAEMU, in collaboration with local EdTech support organizations, disseminate the discussions with local context, experts, nuances, and case studies.
