What if a child could become literate and numerate—without ever stepping into a formal classroom? In this episode of Lectures on Learning, Heather Clayton Staker travels to the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi to explore how Imagine Worldwide is delivering powerful learning gains to the most marginalized students using only tablets, adaptive software, and a caring facilitator. Joined by Vafa Hakimi, a field leader from Imagine, Heather discovers how children—many of whom have never attended school—are becoming confident readers and mathematicians. Together, they explore a bold new vision for education in underserved communities and the future of learning for displaced youth around the world.KEY TOPICS COVERED:The learning crisis facing refugee children in Malawi and beyondHow Imagine Worldwide tablets use AI-powered adaptive software to teach literacy and numeracyA behind-the-scenes look at implementation in refugee-led schools and community centersStories of students who have never attended school now learning entirely through tabletsPros and cons of extrinsic motivators (e.g. play zones, books, raffles) for younger learnersWhy refugee-led organizations can outperform traditional NGOs in education deliveryThe surprising conversion story of a social worker who was once skeptical of edtechInsights on sustainability, device durability, and the need for wraparound support like mealsThe emerging “brick-and-mortar Flex Model” as a solution for out-of-school learnersReal-life partnerships between Imagine Worldwide and Limitless Education’s 2-Hour LearningLINKS:Download the "Innovation Spotlight: Imagine Worldwide" infographic at: https://www.guide.school/6YouTube version of Lectures on Learning: www.youtube.com/@guideschooling/playlistsPodcast version: Available on all major platforms (Spotify, Apple, etc.)
