As the second academic term comes to an end, learners have described the period as an exciting learning journey with the tablet learning sessions under the #BEFIT Programme. The learners have explained how the sessions have enhanced their aptitude in languages and mathematics.

We are part of a consortium implementing a Government of Malawi Programme called BEFIT. It is a national rollout of a tablet-based learning intervention for all learners in Standards 1-4 in all public primary schools, reaching about 3.8 million learners in 6,000 schools.
