Defining a Numeracy Roadmap for Kenya

Zizi Afrique’s work on strengthening foundational learning, while working closely with Government and ecosystem partners continues to grow.

A recent breakthrough is the finalization of a numeracy improvement roadmap for Kenya for the next 10 years! Bringing together 54 ecosystem partners, for 11 days and over 100 hours of brainstorm, co-creation and prioritisation, the Ministry of Education-led workshops culminated in a four pillar strategy to improve numeracy outcomes in Kenya: quality teaching and learning materials; continuous teacher capacity development; assessment and data use and an accountability-oriented policy environment.

This roadmap will guide Zizi Afrique’s and MoEs efforts towards improving numeracy outcomes for all children in Kenya. This work was seeded through Daara (insert hyperlink of the video I shared for cohort 2). During the innovation phase, Zizi Afrique conducted research with the Center for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) on misconceptions in foundational numeracy, revealing a huge gap in conceptual mastery and procedural fluency in numeracy in the early grades.
