Digital Learning: Airtel Africa Foundation and UNICEF have connected 977,670 Nigerian students to digital learning. Girls’ Education: Pregnancy-related secondary-school dropouts are rising, with a separate report saying 1,516 girls have left school due to pregnancy. AI Tutoring: WhatsApp-based math tutor Rori is expanding to government schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda and Ghana. A study found participating students outperformed a control group by roughly the equivalent of an extra year of learning.
