Across Sub‑Saharan Africa, teachers and teacher educators are using technology in creative and practical ways to support learning, often in challenging, low resource environments. From WhatsApp‑based lessons and community‑run ICT clubs to inclusive tools that support visually impaired and hearing‑impaired learners, these stories highlight innovation, resilience and a commitment to learner progress.
Teaching and learning with technology in Sub‑Saharan Africa: Case studies of practice brings together 20 examples from teachers across the region. Drawn from 119 submissions across 20 countries, the case studies offer insight into how teachers are adapting tools, addressing barriers, and creating meaningful learning experiences for their students.
