A Foundation initiative
Build the next Africa. It starts in schools.
Let's prepare the next generation for success. We're not catching up — we're leapfrogging.
The frameworks
Three open frameworks. One implementation roadmap.
Each framework is a complete document — principles, architecture, curriculum, budget, and a phased rollout. Read online or download the markdown source.

Principles
What every framework holds in common.
The frameworks differ in scope, but they all share the same commitments. Open, evidence-based, mobile-first, cost-conscious.
Open
Free to use, copy, adapt, share.
No licensing fees. No proprietary lock-in. The frameworks are documents, not products. Schools, ministries, and partners take what works and leave what does not.
Evidence-based
What actually works in classrooms.
Grounded in research on digital literacy, learning outcomes, and at-risk identification. Designed against the realities of intermittent connectivity, shared devices, and teacher time.
Mobile-first
Smartphones are the primary surface.
Student portal, parent portal, LMS — all built mobile-first. Offline-capable apps with smart syncing for low-connectivity environments. Device equity programmes layer on top, not the other way around.
Cost-conscious
60–80% reduction versus commercial.
Open-source platforms (Moodle, Gibbon, PostgreSQL) over proprietary equivalents. Three-year total of approximately $181K against $500K+ for commercial alternatives. Detailed budget breakdowns and funding pathways included.
