EdTech Mondays: Championing Local Innovation through EdTech Policies
This season of EdTech Mondays Africa is keen on bringing to the table policymakers and decision influencers to follow through on actions being taken to implement the recommendations from the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Conference in 2024. On this first edition we bring to the fore recommendation one from the EdTech Conference which was to, “Champion local innovation through supportive EdTech policies, with government as a leader, proactive enabler and consumer of quality content and delivery mechanisms”. We delve into strategies and policies that integrate EdTech into learning systems with Rwanda as a best practice.
