Adoption and Impact of Educational Technology in Kenyan Low-Resource Schools,

Educational Technology (EdTech) has been recognised as a potential solution to bridge educational gaps in low-resource settings, particularly in rural and underserved areas of Kenya. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys of teachers and students, and qualitative insights through interviews with school administrators and focus group discussions in selected schools across Kenya. The analysis reveals a significant adoption rate of digital learning platforms among Kenyan educators (72%), particularly in primary schools. However, challenges such as insufficient internet connectivity and inadequate teacher training hindered full-scale implementation. While EdTech shows promise for enhancing educational access and quality in low-resource settings, effective policy support is crucial to address the identified barriers and maximise its benefits. Policy recommendations include investing in digital infrastructure, providing ongoing professional development for teachers, and fostering community engagement to ensure sustainable adoption of EdTech solutions.
