Edulution is a social enterprise partially funded by Pestalozzi World. Its innovative tablet-based numeracy learning programme has impacted more than 40,000 Learners. In Zambia, primary school learners are, on average, 2 – 3 years behind their grade level. The Learners are enrolled in the programme for one year and attend for 3 to 4 hours a week in groups of 30 to 50.

Learners use tablets to do an initial assessment and then, facilitated by the Coach and guided by the software, engage with appropriate interactive exercises and videos, working at their own pace to achieve mastery before moving to the next level. Technology enables the active, self-paced, mastery part, and the Coaches provide a fun and supported environment. Two Coaches facilitate the sessions and are guided by ‘live’ analytical data to facilitate effective learning.

Not only was Edulution’s first centre based at our Zambian Village, but many of their coaches are Pestalozzi Alumni. They work in their rural communities, acting as role models and changemakers. The technology operates offline & off-grid, often in remote rural areas. Data is fed back to all stakeholders – Coaches, programme managers, outcome funders, principals, parents, Learners and other authorised stakeholders.
