Thanks @TechCabal for the feature. A lot worked. A lot can be done better. I share more in my thesis, soon to be published. Malawi’s tech ecosystem is certainly ripe for growth. There is so much (entrepreneurial) opportunity here, and we can get it right.

In Malawi, the aspiration to ‘turn schools into ICT centres’ is not new, as similar efforts date to the 1960s. While the nature and types of technologies introduced have been changing, the rationales for introducing them have remained the same. We bring you #EdTechatUnima2024!
