In its commitment to revolutionise education in Malawi, InspireLearn adopts a collaborative approach, recognizing the crucial role of teachers in shaping the platform. The company held a workshop on November 3, 2023, with teachers from Kamzimbi Community Day Secondary School. The main purpose of the engagement was to refine the platform to suit the unique needs of students in rural areas.

Kamzimbi, situated in a rural area with challenges like limited internet connectivity and scarce educational resources, serves as a representative of the target audience for the InspireLearn platform. The organisation aims to bridge the educational gap by providing a learning platform accessible offline and on basic phones, ensuring equitable access to educational resources.

The workshop kicked off with an introduction to the InspireLearn platform, giving teachers a hands-on experience. Despite the challenges posed by the school’s location, teachers found the platform to be remarkably user-friendly.For instance, Mr. Abel Kavala, one of the teachers, shared feedback that underscored the platform’s user-friendly nature, highlighting how easily he navigated it without external guidance.

A large part of the workshop was dedicated to gathering insights from the teachers. Teachers actively participated, offering their perspectives based on their experiences and needs in order to enhance the platform’s effectiveness. Suggestions ranged from incorporating interactive features and diverse learning styles. InspireLearn sees these recommendations as important contributions to shaping a more impactful educational tool.

The organisation views this collaborative effort as a stepping stone in its mission to transform education. The insights gained from teachers from Kamzimbi will help refine the platform to better align with the realities of rural education in Malawi. The organization remains committed to an ongoing dialogue with educators in the country to ensure continuous improvement.

In the journey to revolutionise education, InspireLearn recognizes the importance of this collaborative approach with educators who serve as the frontline ambassadors of change. By engaging directly with teachers from Kamzimbi, the organization not only got important feedback but also showed its strong commitment to making a learning platform that is inclusive and impacts students in Malawi and beyond, irrespective of their background.
