Eneza Education

Eneza Education provides learning materials for students and tracking of students’ performance using SMS technology. This platform uses activation codes to start taking a quiz in a particular topic that is being taught in class and students are directed to answer the questions and receive feedback based on their answers. Teachers are able to track the performance through the data collected that is made accessible to teachers and parents.

This platform has partnered with Safaricom to roll out a revision tool, Shupavu 291, which is currently available in 400 schools across Kenya and can be accessed from any mobile by dialing *291# or sending the word “START” to 20851 at a cost of 0.1 USD (Ksh 10) per week deducted from the users’ airtime. The service also includes an “Ask a teacher” feature where students ask questions remotely to a live teacher.

This platform offers a single course for teachers with instructions on how to use the platform and guidance on ways to interpret student outcomes.
