Amal Labs Unveils Kenya Pilot to Empower Teachers and Personalize Learning at Scale

Amal Labs announced the launch of its education technology pilots in Kenya, positioning the country as the first key node in a bold strategy to transform foundational learning across the Global South. This expansion builds on Kenya’s status as a regional education and technology hub and directly addresses persistent gaps in early-grade literacy and numeracy outcomes.

With an estimated 50,000 primary and secondary schools and around 400,000 teachers, Kenya offers a vital scale for impactful educational transformation. Amal Labs places teachers at the center of its mission, developing tailored AI-powered tools in close collaboration with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and local educators. These tools are designed to support personalized learning journeys, enabling teachers to better meet the unique needs of each student and reclaim valuable time to focus on instruction.

Amal Labs’ work spans the full K–12 continuum, with a core focus on early-grade literacy and numeracy as foundational skills. By embedding adaptive, context-sensitive technology from the earliest years and following learners through primary and lower secondary education, the initiative aims to drive continuous, system-wide improvement rather than isolated interventions.

REGIONAL MODEL FOR PERSONALIZED LEARNING & EDTECH

Piloting these solutions in both urban and rural schools, Amal Labs is creating a robust Kenya-to-Region blueprint for scalable, locally relevant EdTech. This model will adapt to varying infrastructure levels, policy frameworks, and community contexts, while maintaining a sharp focus on strengthening foundational learning outcomes through personalized support and teacher empowerment.


This initiative reaffirms Amal Labs’ commitment to equipping education systems with innovative, scalable tools that empower teachers and enable every learner to thrive.
