Teaching with technology is the future of education and it’s helping teachers, students, parents and educators to grow more attached to the idea of generating educational outcomes worldwide. Meeting the diverse needs of populations that are served worldwide requires the use of leveraging devices and building a platform for the future success of students. In order to do this, various companies need to build the framework for the future of educational technology.
The growing edtech industry in Africa creates adaptive interfaces, classroom engagement boosters, education-specific fundraising sites, and new educational initiatives in the form of technology to educate students, change the way that homework is handled, as well as the way that students are evaluated and tested online. The African Edtech market is growing rapidly and Nordic companies can make a significant difference in this space.
