The document discusses the Programmes for Students (PfS) initiative in New Zealand, specifically the Accelerating Literacy Learning (ALL) component. ALL uses school expertise to evaluate literacy practices and closely monitor a 15-week literacy intervention for small groups of students in their first year of school. Key aspects of ALL include using data to inform decisions, selecting priority students based on data, designing iterative interventions grounded in evidence, and fostering teacher inquiry to accelerate student progress. The goal is to shift students to a faster learning trajectory through culturally-responsive, supplementary programs that catch students up to expected literacy levels.

This document describes a mobile learning solution called mJangale for primary schools in Senegal. The solution aims to improve primary education outcomes by providing mobile phones and educational apps to schools. Each school's kit includes 40 mobile phones for students and 1 for teachers, as well as apps for reading and math based on the Senegalese curriculum. The solution aims to strengthen the relationship between schools and parents by distributing apps to parents as well. An initial pilot with two schools aims to demonstrate the solution's promise before scaling it more broadly.

Supporting Young Entrepreneurs in Emerging and Developing Countries with Mobi...
This document discusses using mobile technology to help young entrepreneurs in developing countries manage the finances of their businesses. It proposes developing simple accounting apps for mobile phones to track expenses, sales, profits, and other financial data. The apps would integrate monitoring capabilities for microfinance institutions to oversee the financial health of businesses they loan to. The goal is to provide tools to help young people start sustainable businesses and reduce unemployment in emerging markets.
Introducing Mobile Learning in Kindergartens in Senegal
This document summarizes a project introducing mobile learning apps in kindergartens in Senegal. It describes how a series of apps were developed and piloted in 3 schools, observing that students were able to use the apps independently and were motivated by mobile phones. Teachers found it helped fight digital divide and saved time for assessment. The plan is to work with more schools, sell the apps with online/SMS extensions, and establish phone borrowing with support from manufacturers and operators to scale the project.
Price It
This document proposes a price comparison service called Price It that allows consumers to find up-to-date prices of products and services. Price It utilizes micro-workers who submit the latest price information via SMS, apps, or the web. This crowdsourced price data is accessible to users through a web interface and mobile apps, empowering them to make more informed shopping decisions. The service generates revenue through small payments to micro-workers, premium subscriptions and queries from users, and advertising on the SMS and web platforms.
SMS Pharma m2work
SMS Pharma is a service that provides up-to-date information on local health providers (hours of operation) and availability of medicines. Micro-workers supply the required information. Users access the information through SMS, voice or an app. The service is scalable and can be adapted globally.
We launched part of the service in Senegal. Users can get information on pharmacies that are open in 8 cities using SMS. We want to expand to more cities and countries and scale with micro-workers.
SMS Pharma m2work
SMS Pharma provides up-to-date information on open health providers and available medications in developing countries by utilizing micro-workers who supply the information via SMS, voice calls, or a mobile app, allowing users to quickly find medical care and medications. The service aims to expand its coverage to additional cities and countries using micro-workers to scale the operation in a sustainable and low-cost manner.
Local Sport, Global Passion
Local micro-workers can provide immediate access to local sport information for global fans by reporting scores and details of local sport events. This allows fans living abroad to stay connected to local teams, and provides a way for others to access sport statistics and results from developing areas that previously lacked reporting infrastructure. The system pays micro-workers small amounts for their submitted data, using their reports of events like games in Senegal's local soccer leagues. It generates revenue from premium access, ads, sponsorships, and selling the collected data and user profiles. The goal is to scale this model to cover more sports, locations, and fans worldwide.
Priceit
Price It is a price query system that allows users to find up-to-date prices of products and services from micro-workers in developing countries. Micro-workers submit the latest price information via SMS from their feature phones. Users can search for prices through a web or mobile app interface. The system generates revenue from premium SMS/voice services, advertising, and selling aggregated price data.

Microwork for Sports Information
Microworkers can report scores for local sports, providing fans with immediate access to sports information and sustaining their passion. Amadou, a fan in Senegal, has to wait until the next day's newspaper to get results, as reporting scores requires infrastructure taken for granted elsewhere. The document proposes a solution using microworkers to submit and query sports information via SMS, apps or websites, scaling an existing proof-of-concept to cover more sports and locations.
