The population boom in most of Africa, has seen existing educational resources strained to the limit. Teachers are constantly faced with large class sizes, making it difficult to provide the necessary attention to struggling students. A lot of time is wasted by teachers marking paper based tests, which provide no real actionable data beyond end of term / year reports.
As a result students performances are in a constant decline with an average pass rate of less than 10%. The majority of students in Africa who complete primary school read below grade level.
