Published: March 2025

Introduction: This report offers valuable insights and actionable information from key informants to support, scale, and sustain digital courseware initiatives aimed at improving basic literacy, numeracy, and broader learning outcomes in low-resource settings. 

Between September and November 2024, mEducation Alliance staff and consultants conducted key informant interviews (KIIs) with 41 ministry officials, global experts, donors, and implementers, alongside focus groups of representatives from ministries in eight countries.

These insights reflect the collective efforts of leading organizations and country ministries dedicated to advancing this critical work. The mEducation Alliance and the Spix Foundation reaffirm their commitment to supporting these stakeholders to achieve their shared goals, fostering meaningful progress in digital education.
