Education Services M-powering an effective education

Education Services - The power of e-nabling IT
The quality of education services highly depends on the time teacher spends in preparing and delivering the content. Typically, a teacher ends up spending a lot of quality time in administrative work where he or she has to keep track of important information and send reminders and updates to students on the same.

IT systems can be an efficient tool for the teachers to help them process, manage and deliver information.

Why Messaging becomes crucial in Education Services?

While the IT systems have attempted to reduce the administrative burden on teachers by sending in automatic emails/portal updates to students and other stakeholders involved, instant access of that information is still not possible because most of the students/parents are not connected to internet 24x7. Further many of the houses still don't possess a computer as compared to a far higher penetration of mobile phones in the Kenya middle class homes.

Therefore, messaging gives the power in the hands of all the stakeholders involved in the education process to communicate the information without delay. Since, the access of mobile phones is 24x7; receiving reminders/updates over the mobile phones keeps them up-to-date with the latest information.
