We are deeply saddened by the tragic fire incident at Utumishi Girls Academy.
Schools are places of learning, safety, and hope, and it is heartbreaking to witness such a devastating tragedy affecting students, families, educators, and the wider school community.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and stand in solidarity with the Utumishi Girls community during this incredibly difficult time.

That was the core message at the 3rd Annual Educational Assessment Symposium hosted by The The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and Educational Assessment Resource Centre (EARC) and it's exactly what drives ๐™‡๐™š๐™–๐™™๐™‰๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™—๐™ฎ ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™œ๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™–๐™จ, our EdTech solution for teacher professional development and learning outcomes.

We explored how LeadNow can help:

โœ“ Teachers design more meaningful, learner-centered assessments

โœ“ Continuous professional development connect directly to classroom practice

โœ“ Data and evidence inform both policy and implementation

The conversations also surfaced critical sector questions:

๐Ÿ’กHow do we continuously up skill teachers for a changing world?

๐Ÿ’กHow do we ensure EdTech aligns with government priorities and classroom realities?

๐Ÿ’กAnd how do we move from innovation to evidence-based impact at scale?

As Kenya strengthens its position as a leader in digital innovation, one thing is clear โ€” supporting teachers to confidently adopt technology is foundational to improving learning outcomes.

When teachers are supported, classrooms transform.
This video shows how teachers using LeadNowโ€”a digital teacher professional development and coaching toolkit developed by Dignitasโ€”are strengthening how they plan and deliver lessons in real classrooms.

With continuous, practical support, teachers move from feeling overwhelmed in large, diverse classrooms to confidently planning inclusive lessons that reach every learner.

The result is more confident teachers and more engaged learners. Through the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, this work has been strengthened through collaboration and learning with other innovators.

At Dignitas, we have been transforming education by empowering over 11,000 educators across Kenya, and we need a tech expert to help strengthen that impact.

Weโ€™re looking for a Senior Software Developer to enhance our EdTech digital learning platform by improving its performance, reliability, security, and offline-ready learning functionalities that support educators in some of Kenyaโ€™s most low-resourced communities.

If youโ€™re passionate about building meaningful technology that expands access to quality learning and strengthens education equity, this is a powerful opportunity to contribute.

Improving learning outcomes requires a system that is aligned, responsive, and working together.

Last week, this came to life as we joined partners across the ๐€๐‹๐ข๐•๐„ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž for a 3-day ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—œ ๐—”๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ convening, bringing together government and education actors advancing life skills and values-based education. The ALiVE Programme focuses on ensuring children gain the skills and values they need to thrive in school, work, and life.

As an implementing partner, our work in Isiolo focuses on supporting teachers through training and coaching to integrate these skills into everyday teaching and learning.

But strong classroom practice is just the starting point. For this work to last and reach more learners, it needs to be supported across the system through:

โœ”๏ธ Alignment across education actors
โœ”๏ธ Use of evidence to inform decisions
โœ”๏ธ Coordination between policy, schools, and communities
โœ”๏ธ Sustained system-level support

This is what it takes to move from strong teaching in individual classrooms to lasting impact for all learners.
