Inherent Foundation's CEO and founder, Tony Davis, shares his experience from the field in Malawi with Imagine Worldwide!

Don't miss Tony Davis' reflections on his recent visit to Malawi and his impressions of the impact #edtech is having on foundational learning.

The Building Education Foundations through Innovation and Technology (BEFIT) program tablet session at St. Joseph Primary School in Zomba District is seeing high levels of student engagement. Learners are actively enhancing their numeracy and reading skills through the use of tablets, with teachers providing support when students encounter technical challenges. BEFIT is an Education Technology (EdTech) program implemented by the Ministry of Education through the Directorate of Open Distance and E-learning (DoDEL) and the Directorate of Basic Education (DBE). The program aims to enable learners in all public primary schools in Malawi—approximately 6,000 schools—to access tablet-based learning, specifically targeting students in Standards 1 to 4. The primary objective of the BEFIT program is to improve literacy and numeracy skills among primary school learners.

During a recent visit to schools implementing the BEFIT EdTech program, I had the opportunity to meet with community stakeholders and hear firsthand about the program's impact. One parent shared something that truly stood out to me: beyond improving literacy and numeracy skills, BEFIT is introducing digital literacy to learners in remote areas—some of whom have never seen or touched a smartphone, let alone a tablet. This conversation made me realize that the BEFIT program is doing more than improve the learners literacy and numeracy skills; it’s helping bridge the digital divide for young learners, a significant step forward for the future of our country. I look forward to a day when these little ones will come out as giants in tech. I look forward to seeing more William Kamkwamba's coming out of this land. ”A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation” #BEFIT #EdTech #DigitalLiteracy #BridgingTheDivide
