Voluntary Service Overseas: Unlocking Talent Through Technology, Malawi

This work aims to improve children's literacy and numeracy skills in Standard 1&2 - the infant years of primary school in Malawi. Using ipads and specially developed software children are taken through a number of topics, linked to the curriculum. They have regular access to the ipads every week, their teachers will be specially trained to support this work and adapt their own teaching practice in the classroom. Small Learning Centres (classrooms) will be built for each school which will enable small classes of 30 to spend time on the ipads and with their teacher. With average class sizes in excess of 1:80, this work has demonstrated 18 months gain in an 8 week period for some children.
