Mondo experiences from Africa: a successful digital leap in education requires resourcefulness and adaptability

What happens when electricity and internet connection fail during digital training, or when teachers and students get to assemble a robot with their own hands for the very first time? Estonia’s digital experience in education is not easy to replicate in other countries, but the impact of even the first steps is tremendous for communities with fewer oportunities in Africa.

The success story of Estonian digital education, which began with the Tiger Leap 30 years ago, is highly valued and well-known worldwide. In Mondo’s development cooperation activities, we have shared our skills and knowledge from this in several target countries where digital reforms sounded like complete utopia just a few years ago.

Read examples of Mondo’s work in the article in Õpetajate Leht.

Mondo works in education both in Kenya and Uganda with the support of ESTDEV – Estonian Centre for International Development.
