Lead researcher: Dr. George Ngwacho Areba, PhD

Dr. George Ngwacho Areba leads the project from Kisii University, alongside co-researchers from KSU and the United Kingdom. Running from June 2024 to March 2026, this study aims to explore how digital mobile tools can improve teaching and learning in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. The research focuses on primary teachers and learners displaced by conflict and natural disasters, investigating how mobile technology can help overcome the unique challenges they face in accessing quality education. The project seeks to assess the role of digital tools in shaping teachers' experiences, evaluate teachers' competencies in integrating technology, and explore how digital resources can be adapted to enhance inclusive education. The outcomes include policy insights, development of a toolkit for teachers, and design of digital tools to support effective learning in refugee contexts.
