“…Improvement to instruction is instruction-centric interventions that aim to improve the quality of tutor instructions (including remote instruction, in-person instruction and remote engagement with parents and tutors) to improve learning outcomes even if the instructions are phonebased to parents to support their wards [19]. In regions where rural areas fail to attract and retain qualified trained teachers, remote instruction could prove helpful [16], [20].…”

In underserved regions, the educational inequality gap between better-served children and under-served children is wide. At the same time, the digital inequality gap in such countries is narrowing; less endowed families are now able to access some digital technologies. Therefore, there is the need to use technologies for educational purposes to support lessendowed children in promoting diversity and inclusivity. This research is explorative research to highlight issues in the use of technologies for education, such as adoption, barriers, challenges and benefits in African context. In doing so, we seek to promote diversity and inclusivity for education in underserved regions and bridge the education inequality gap. This research will contribute to academic research relating to inclusivity to support under-served children in developing countries. It will push forward educational technology research and contribute to policymaking. The outcome of this research would prepare the foundation for a future large-scale implementation across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Why lockdown and distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to increase the social class achievement gap

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced teachers and parents to quickly adapt to a new educational context: distance learning. Teachers developed online academic material while parents taught the exercises and lessons provided by teachers to their children at home. Considering that the use of digital tools in education has dramatically increased during this crisis, and it is set to continue, there is a pressing need to understand the impact of distance learning. Taking a multidisciplinary view, we argue that by making the learning process rely more than ever on families, rather than on teachers, and by getting students to work predominantly via digital resources, school closures exacerbate social class academic disparities. To address this burning issue, we propose an agenda for future research and outline recommendations to help parents, teachers and policymakers to limit the impact of the lockdown on social-class-based academic inequality.
