Ebola-related risks forced Liberia to close its schools, but digital technologies haven’t prevented children to keep on learning. Traditional classroom education has been compelled to stop to limit disease-spreading, but for 1.2 million of Liberian children lessons continue at home broadcasted by radio and available by mobile phones. This incredible achievement is possible especially thanks to the noble action of Cellcom and Worldreader. The first one is a Liberian well-established wireless carrier that is providing families with free access to certain educational content; while Worldreader is a US-based NGO that has developed a mobile app allowing students to download course readings free of charge. The non-profit has been founded with the purpose of promoting literacy in poor countries; it currently operates in 39 countries and special focus has been given to Kenya and Ghana. When Ebola started spreading in Liberia, Worldreader’s creator David Risher began collaborating with the government and other businessmen in order to integrate national education system with its tools. Risher and his team also contacted various London-based school publishers asking for partnership; though there is no agreement yet, Worldreader spokesman declared conversations have been promising. What makes Liberia’s case different from other countries where the NGO has taken action is that it hasn’t been possible to provide students with book readers and related training on how to use them. Thus, the only way to solve this problem so far it has been relying on the estimated 50% of Liberians who have internet access. gLAWcal Team LIBEAC project Tuesday, 25 November 2014 (Source: Forbes)
