QEDA Launches AI 'Mama Maths' to Enhance Learning Gaps
Quality Education Development Associates (QEDA) completed an eight-week pilot of 'Mama Maths', an AI-driven Mathematics learning platform, on September 24, 2026. This initiative, part of QEDA's Numeracy Enhancement, Research and Development (NERD) project, was conducted in six Nigerian schools, targeting grade two pupils to improve numeracy outcomes.
The pilot ran from March to August 2026, involving three intervention schools and three control schools across various community types. Gabriel Okechukwu Sylvester, Senior Programme Officer at QEDA, stated that 'Mama Maths' was tailored to the Nigerian curriculum and aimed to assist teachers with lesson planning.
Teachers received intensive training on pedagogical methods and ethical AI use. The project included weekly school visits for support, instructional materials for hands-on learning, and parental engagement through orientation sessions.
Tatianne Ambang, Project Manager at Ebase Africa, noted the pilot's design to address specific educational needs.
