Delivering quality where it counts

Yosan, Head Teacher
"My thoughts about AptoBox is that it is really innovative to us, it is going to be helpful. It actually made our work very easy. When we are reading all our workbooks in there, the Aptobox made it very very easy for us to do research and review our lesson very very fast."
William, Head Teacher
"Everyone can access at any opportunity, a simple phone can be used to access the course, and all our staff have phones. I'm just excited to see how we shall adopt this to change our schools more."
Sylvester, Deputy Head Teacher
"My favourite part of the course from Aptobox was the one about lesson planning. I liked how you break it down into smaller bits where learners can be able to understand better, how learners can be able to manipulate the objectives involved, so that it is real learning and not just theory."
Collaborating for Impact.
We have a new partnership with Ontum, an Education Technology company in India that provides smart tools for schools, training, and curriculum support.
Through this partnership with Ontum and with our partner the Jinja Educational Trust (JET), we have advanced the development of the Aptobox—a technology tool designed to deliver high-quality school improvement content in low-connectivity environments. We have just completed our first pilot in Uganda that was a huge success and now want to raise funds to secure a second, larger scale pilot.
