Etalk is a company that makes learning software in England. Their Onebillion project has recently become popular, especially since their maths learning app was able to improve children's maths knowledge in Malawi in just eight weeks.
“Onebilion” gets its name from “the aim of reaching one billion children”. This is almost the number of children who don't have the chance to go to school, according to the founder of Etalk. Primary education was not free in Malawi until 1994, and the sudden increase in student registration has put much pressure on the country's education system. There are many great benefits of educating children in developing countries. For example, women tend to have fewer and healthier kids, and have more chance to become part of the economy if they learn the basic skills right at primary level. In Malawi, women with no education have almost seven children while women with secondary education have fewer than four children and can send them all to school.
In the Onebillion project, children are divided into groups of 25 or even 50. They are then taken to a special classroom called Oneclass where they spend half an hour every other day with the device. Each day ten or twelve children can use one tablet. An international volunteer controls the Oneclass and there is an online teacher who guides the children through the app. Participating in Oneclass, all children can learn at their own pace and make good progress in their studies.
