This blog looks at projects from eKitabu in Rwanda and Malawi. In Rwanda, teacher training enhanced the abilities of teachers and deaf teacher assistants, who also shared personal stories, such as the experience of a deaf student facing significant challenges like gender-based violence, emphasising the urgent need for supportive systems.
In Malawi, the Research Sign Language Assessment Tools were piloted. Teachers practised new strategies, built relationships with learners, and explored inclusive assessment methods—laying a foundation for improved early learning outcomes.
