• Stakeholder engagement: interviews and discussions with village elders, school teachers, parents, and children to understand the local educational landscape.
• Research and analysis: Detailed analysis of teaching practices, classroom dynamics, and existing literacy initiatives to identify key gaps.
• Prototype testing: Implementation of affordable digital learning tools, such as e-readers and literacy apps, in schools and homes. These prototypes were tested for their effectiveness in improving learning outcomes and suitability in the rural context.

Outcome

The initiative supported groundwork to refine and pilot early-stage e-book prototypes for Pearson and collaboration with local partners to explore scalable models for literacy improvement.
