Description¶

The presentation's future plans lay out an expansion strategy: "Content: Adding 3rd grade (2023-24) & 4th grade (2024-25)"; "Infrastructure: Expansion of solar power & internet connectivity (pending funding); local capacity-building for infrastructure management; learning from infrastructure solutions in similar settings"; and "Technology: Kolibri, Learning Equality's open-source, offline-first digital platform." Scaling also means "Expanding to additional partner schools," supported by core partners including APA, MSN, Blue Butterfly, Digital Promise, EDC, and Learning Equality.
