Education strategy · Transformation · Capability
We advise governments, school groups, colleges, development partners and employers across Africa on how to make digital and AI change work in learning: from strategy and policy to teacher capability, delivery and measured impact.
“Use technology to teach, not just to teach technology.”
This was our founding principle when schools first brought computers into classrooms. With AI, it matters more than ever: what counts is better teaching and stronger learning, not how many devices or tools an institution has.
What we do
Clients engage us for a single practice or bring several together in one programme. Each starts from your context, your curriculum and your people.
Digital and AI strategies for education systems and institutions, with the policy, governance and funding model to carry them.
Redesigning how teaching, learning, assessment and support work, so technology changes outcomes rather than just adding equipment.
Professional learning, coaching and leadership development that help educators teach confidently with digital and AI tools.
Mapping national and international curricula to high-quality digital content, and reviewing, adapting and localising what learners use.
Independent advice on devices, connectivity and learning platforms, starting from what teaching needs rather than from what is for sale.
Programme management that keeps complex rollouts on time, with monitoring and evaluation that shows what is working and why.
How we work
Most technology programmes stall after the equipment arrives. We stay with the work through every stage, so the investment turns into lasting change in teaching and learning.
A short, fixed-scope review of where you stand and what to do first.
A full strategy, policy and investment plan, built with your leadership team.
We work alongside you through design, delivery and evaluation of a multi-year programme.
Ongoing senior advice for leaders steering their own transformation.
Who we work with
Independent advice
We help you choose what fits your learners, your teachers and your budget. We compare options openly, set out the trade-offs and leave the decision with you.
Any commercial interest is declared in writing before we give advice.
Success is measured in the classroom: what learners can do, and how confidently teachers teach.
Our story
Since then, we have supported over 1 million learners and trained over 30,000 educators in more than 10 countries, including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Lesotho and Kenya.
We began as an education service provider in the early years of one-to-one computing, helping schools turn devices into better teaching through teacher training, curriculum work, deployment and support. The technology has changed since then. The way we work has not: start with learning, build people's capability and stay until the change lasts.
Zimbabwe is our base. Africa is our market. Even in our early years, we saw our future not in one country but in serving the 500 million people of SADC and COMESA. From Harare, we work with education systems, institutions and partners across the continent.
The experience behind our advice
Our founder has worked on eLearning programmes around the world. That experience shapes every engagement: we know what has worked elsewhere, and what has to change for it to work here.

Worked with global technology partners, including Intel® and Microsoft®, on education programmes in several countries.*
Country-specific education systems studied first-hand in India, Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal and China.
Pioneered a satellite-based wide area network for education, and worked with Universal Service Fund programmes.
eLearning conferences and workshops in Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, Egypt, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia.
BETT at ExCeL London for over ten years, and the Education World Forum in the United Kingdom.
From our record
Two programmes from 2011, taken from our newsletter at the time. Delivered through the Intel® Teach programme while we were an Intel® Learning Series partner.*
In January 2011 we signed a memorandum of understanding with Gateway School Trust on student-centred learning. With Gateway Christian Training College, the Trust's teacher-training arm, we ran a master-trainer workshop in April 2011. Gateway schools then adopted and implemented an eLearning strategy for integrating technology into teaching.
Teachers from Budiriro 2 Primary, Budiriro High 1, Glen View High 1 and Glen View High 2 completed 32 hours of intensive training in student-centred teaching and digital literacy. They graduated in October 2011, with senior officials from the ICT and Education ministries present.

Technology in itself can never be the solution to Africa's education challenges. What people choose to do with it can make the difference. Our starting point, then and now
Questions
Most clients start with a readiness diagnostic: a short, fixed-scope review of where learning, people, systems and infrastructure stand, ending with clear priorities and a recommended next step. Scope, timing and fees are agreed in writing before work begins.
Yes. We are based in Harare and work across Africa, drawing on our experience in more than 10 countries, including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Lesotho and Kenya.
