Teacher shortage
One teacher, a room that keeps filling.
Teachers often manage classrooms of 50 or more students, with limited resources.

Amal learns from real classrooms, so its help fits each teacher’s curriculum, context and learners.
The challenge
Teachers carry a lot. They deserve support that understands their reality.

The school day is already full.
Lesson plans, schemes of work and assessments follow teachers home.
