Edtech apps and startups

Africa has the youngest population of any continent, which makes education software less a convenience than a capacity problem: there are more learners than there are classrooms and teachers to hold them. The edtech products collected here approach that from several directions. Some are exam-prep and curriculum platforms mapped to specific national syllabuses, which is the detail generic global platforms almost always miss. Others teach vocational and technical skills (software, design, trades) aimed at employability rather than certification for its own sake. A third group builds for institutions: school management, fee collection, attendance and results systems that replace paper ledgers. There are also language-learning tools for African languages that larger platforms do not serve at all. Cost and bandwidth shape most of these products, so offline-first design and low-data video are common rather than exceptional.
