Gates-backed Elimu-Soko opens $150,000 funding call for classroom innovations across Africa
- The Teaching Innovation Lab has opened a funding call inviting innovators to design low-cost solutions for literacy teaching in African public schools.
- Grants of up to $150,000 are available for organizations in several African countries including Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya.
- Selected pilots will run for six to 12 months and aim to reach at least 200 teachers.
The initiative by the Teaching Innovation Lab presents a promising opportunity to address the critical gaps in teacher training and literacy education in Africa. By focusing on sustainable, scalable solutions, it could lead to significant improvements in educational outcomes, but the success will depend on the quality of the proposed interventions and their integration into existing systems.
