On this International Day of Education 2025, we must acknowledge that AI and EdTech offer tremendous promise to address this challenge, but their implementation demands rigorous standards. These transformative technologies must be developed and deployed with: ✓ Instructional rigor ✓ Evidence-based approaches ✓ Equity at the core ✓ Strong privacy protections ✓ Robust safeguarding measures Only through careful, intentional implementation can we ensure these tools truly serve their purpose: enabling every African child to reach their full potential through strong foundational learning. #InternationalDayOfEducation #EdTech #EducationTransformation #AI4Education #FoundationalLearning #ForEverychild #SDG4 #IDE2025

Happy International Day of Education! As we celebrate this significant day, we're proud to stand with the FLN Hub and partners across Africa to champion the transformative power of AI and EdTech in addressing Africa’s learning crisis and advocating for better transformative solutions. With the power of AI and EdTech, we’re driving equity, innovation, and impactful change. Together, we’re working to ensure that every child has access to quality foundational learning—because education is the key to unlocking our continent’s potential. Let’s continue to prioritize equity, innovation, and impact at scale as we reimagine education for a brighter, more inclusive future.

As TaRL Africa, we endorse this message! 👍 Real change happens when technology doesn’t stand alone but works hand-in-hand with proven solutions that already serve children. It’s not just about technology; it’s about using every tool available to empower communities, classrooms, and learners. Indeed, #EdTech tools must strengthen #FoundationalLearning by fitting into programs that already work–like Structured Pedagogy and Teaching at the Right Level–where teachers and learners are already making strides. #IDE2025 #EducationInnovation #LearningChangesEverything

Happy International Day of Education! Today, we celebrate the incredible power of education and reflect on this year’s theme: AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation. As technology grows more advanced, education becomes even more important. It gives people the tools they need to understand, use, and shape the future of AI responsibly. With AI and automation becoming a bigger part of our daily lives, it’s natural to ask: how do we make sure people stay in control? UNESCO’s Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, reminds us that teachers and students must be equipped to use AI wisely. The goal is clear—technology should help us learn, dream, and achieve more, not take away what makes us human. At TaRL Africa, we believe every child deserves the chance to succeed in a world where technology and human creativity work together. Foundational learning is crucial to unlocking the skills needed to face new challenges and seize opportunities. It’s not just about learning facts—it’s about giving children the confidence to lead, adapt, and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities. #InternationalDayofEducation #AIandEducation #IDE2025 #EdTech
