Unsurprisingly, it’s often cited that what holds back the economic progression of some of the world’s less affluent nations is the state of its education. This is a problem that’s rarely to do with the quality of the educators but more to do with the logistics and associated costs. For example, if a child lives in a rural village it may be impossible to practically travel to the place of education due to poor transport infrastructure.

Have you seen any other successful education programs with mobile phones at their heart?
