There is a big conversation on Technology in Education going on across the African continent at the moment. Economies are waking up to the reality that Edtech is no longer inevitable. The lap top story has been widely publicized in Kenya’s political arena, the implementation though has been a hard rock to crack. Rwanda is the only African country that has successfully rolled out free laptops to schools.
Eneza is disrupting the landscape of education by introducing yet another rejuvenating idea in the education industry. The teacher-student ratio has been deteriorating over the years and the overstretched teacher workforce culminated in this brilliant low cost idea that uses simple mobile technology. Shupavu291 is a service that allows students to revise for their examinations using an SMS service, with students receiving individualized feedback for every question taken. Students only need to dial *291# to register for the service that costs Ksh 30 per month for unlimited usage of the platform.
Every teacher should utilize this service to identify on student weak areas and improve on them. We outline some of the ways below.
