| Abstract: | In Lebanon, UNICEF, in coordination with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and the Center for Education Research and Development, and with support from Teach for Lebanon, implemented a digital learning inception programme in 14 public schools. The programme targeted Grade 6 and 7 students in mathematics, science and languages through "Madristi," a localized version of the UNICEF Learning Passport digital learning platform aligned with the national curriculum. This research brief presents evidence from the inception phase, covering the participation of 2,432 students and 285 teachers, and examines engagement with digital learning during in-person instruction. It highlights key challenges, good practices and investment needs for scaling up digital learning across public education systems, underscoring the potential of technology to support more relevant, engaging learning and the development of 21st-century skills. [This programme was implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), the Center for Education Research and Development (CERD), and with support from the NGO Teach for Lebanon (TFL), as well as with additional funding support from the German Government through the KfW Development Bank.] |
