Over 1000 School Kids Leverage Edutech Initiative for Access to Learning in Nigeria During and Post Covid 19

In July 2020, three months before the government announced the reopening of schools in Nigeria, a group of educational practitioners and learning specialists leveraged technology, championing an initiative to make education accessible for indigent students in local communities. The initiative called Digilearns is a learning intervention platform created and designed to deliver government-approved and contextually relevant learning content to students across the country. The platform allows learners to use textbook and revision materials, quizzes and mini-lessons via Short Message Service (SMS) and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) on any basic-feature mobile phone and does not require internet connectivity.
