Malawi has made great strides since primary education was made free to all students in 1994. This has encouraged many children to attend school. In spite of 88% enrollment rates in primary schools (pre-pandemic) learning outcomes are poor with low passing rate for fundamental (English and Mathematics) subjects. The most cost-effective method identified to improve learning outcomes is Technology Assisted Learning (TAL).
