Mobile telephony innovation to improve education service outcomes
Sumedh Rao · 2013
There is a wide and growing interest in the use of mobile telephony to improve education service outcomes. This interest is by bilateral and multilateral donors, private foundations, non-governmental organisations, academic researchers and private companies, many of whom are associated with the Mobiles for Education (mEducation) Alliance. This Alliance aims to “reduce barriers to access appropriate, scalable, and low-cost mobile technologies to help improve learning outcomes in formal and non-formal education across all levels, especially in low-resource and developing country contexts” (USAID 2013a).
