The Foundational Learning Crisis Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) are the basic skills every child should master by the end of Grade 3: understanding short texts, writing simple sentences, and performing basic arithmetic (UNICEF, 2022). Yet in low- and middle-income countries, about 70 percent of ten-year-olds cannot read and understand a short passage—a figure that rose sharply after COVID-19 (World Bank, 2022).
AI and digital technology in education is a key research area for LIRNEasia. We are therefore keen to study cutting-edge research and best practices, and to translate these insights into policy and practice in Sri Lanka.
Educational Technology (EdTech) has significant potential to improve educational outcomes and address widening skill gaps across the Global South, with significant investments in the sector being made over the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth in the sector, with remote learning related technology being in high demand.
