Before
This pilot project explores the impact of early exposure to AI-powered learning tools and teacher training on students’ educational outcomes in Ethiopia. Focused on rural areas in Benishangul-Gumuz, where the Pharo Foundation runs multiple schools, the study employs a randomized controlled trial to assess improvements in student engagement, digital readiness, interest in STEM pathways, and teacher retention. Insights from this work will inform the design of a larger randomized evaluation to assess the long-term impacts of AI integration in education, guiding future policies for enhancing digital literacy and educational quality in East Africa.

After
This pilot project explores the impact of early exposure to AI-powered learning tools and teacher training on students’ educational outcomes in Ethiopia. Focused on underserved and low-resource settings, the study employs a randomized controlled trial to assess improvements in student engagement, digital readiness, interest in STEM pathways, and teacher retention. Insights from this work will inform the design of a larger randomized evaluation to assess the long-term impacts of AI integration in education, guiding future policies for enhancing digital literacy and educational quality in East Africa.
