About Eduprac

Built by practitioners, for the systems that teach Africa’s children

Eduprac Consultancy Limited is a Kenyan education consultancy founded by five senior specialists in foundational literacy and numeracy, teacher professional development, instructional design, education technology, monitoring and evaluation, and systems strengthening.

Why we started

We came together because we saw the same gap again and again: strong evidence on what works, and too few programmes that carry it all the way into classrooms and keep it there.

Between us we have spent more than 60 years designing reading materials, training teachers, building national assessment systems and evaluating programmes, including senior roles on Tusome, Kenya’s national early grade reading programme that reached 10 million learners in 23,000 schools.

Eduprac brings that experience together in one team, so governments and their partners get design, delivery and measurement that work as one.

Vision

To be Africa’s leading consultancy advancing equitable learning outcomes through innovative, evidence-based foundational literacy and numeracy solutions.

Mission

To support governments, development partners and implementing organisations in improving foundational learning outcomes through high-quality instructional design, system strengthening, data-driven decision-making, EdTech innovation and AI-enabled education solutions.

Our values

What guides our work

Evidence first

Every recommendation is traceable to data or research, and we say what the data cannot tell us.

Classroom-real

We design for the teacher with 70 learners and one textbook, not the ideal case.

Equity by design

Girls, learners with disabilities, rural and refugee settings are built in from the start.

Systems thinking

We leave ministries and partners with capacity, tools and ownership, not dependency.

Integrity

Honest reporting, careful use of public and donor funds, and clear value for money.

How we work

From co-design to handover

1. Co-design

Start from government priorities and learning data, with ministry teams at the table.

2. Design and test

Build materials, training and tools, and pilot them in real classrooms.

3. Deliver at scale

Train trainers and coaches, and support rollout through existing structures.

4. Measure and hand over

Track learning gains and leave tools, data and capacity with the system.
