Shule Direct is a social enterprise creating digital educational
content for learners in Africa. We leverage technology to bridge the
educational resources divide by providing affordable web and mobile learning
solutions to children and youth. To date, we have built an educational content
repository for Tanzania's Secondary School curriculum accessed via our
Application Programmer's Interface (API). We host an open educational resource
(OER) at www.shuledirect.co.tz
and provide offline access of the same via our customised Learning
Management System (LMS) for Secondary Schools. The OER is under Facebook's
internet.org program of zero-rating content and can therefore be accessed for
free. We are currently piloting a mobile learning platform where we seek to
empower more students in Tanzania with accessible learning and revision
educational and extra-curricular content.
We believe in quality education for all.
With just two years in operations, Shule Direct has developed
products that are reaching thousands of students across Tanzania. The Board and
