Abstract

Early childhood education in remote areas of northern Ghana faces significant challenges due to limited resources and infrastructure. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with app developers, educators, and parents with quantitative surveys assessing app usage and effectiveness. App usage increased by 50% among children aged 3-6 years after six months of regular use, though parental engagement was lower in rural areas. Early childhood education apps show promise for supplementing traditional teaching methods but require tailored support to maximise impact in remote settings. Develop culturally appropriate content and provide ongoing training for educators on app integration into lesson plans.
