单集简介 ...

From Malawi, Myra Anubi takes a look at ways that technology is improving children’s education. Malawi has free primary schools - but almost 90% of 10 year olds are unable to read properly. So the government is distributing tablets to schools up and down the country. They use software that helps kids to learn maths and reading at their own speed and in their own language. Tests have shown that literacy and numeracy are improving and the children come to school more often. Myra also visits the world’s first 3D printed school. In Malawi there aren't enough school buildings. Is 3D printing the solution to bringing better classrooms to where they are most needed? People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions. You can contact us on WhatsApp by messaging +44 8000 321721 or email peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk. And please leave us a review on your chosen podcast provider.

  • I'm Myra Anubi, and today on People Fixing the World from the BBC World Service,

  • I'm in this beautiful country.

  • There's the clear waters of Lake Malawi, stunning mountain scenery,

  • and most importantly, some of the friendliest people I've met.

  • So friendly that this country is actually referred to as the warm heart of Africa.

  • But behind all this colour and vibrancy lies a different story.

  • poorest countries in the world,

  • with nearly three quarters of its population living in extreme poverty, according to the World Bank.

  • It's a struggle to get basic needs like food, to get work, health care and education.

  • However, there are many projects happening here to try and address some of these issues.

  • And I'm going to be finding out about some of these solutions.

  • For starters, we're going to be looking at education.
