LiveCode Written App Boosts Maths Learning Across the Globe

Last week we were delighted to see the success a LiveCode written app is having in providing better education for children in Malawi. The BBC reported that Biwi Primary School in Malawi are trialling the LiveCode written app where the children are each given 30 minutes a day on the tablet. The results are that these kids learn 18 months worth of maths in just six weeks.

 

The app has caught the attention of researchers at Nottingham University who wanted to test how effective the app was at boosting learning not just in Malawi, but also in the UK. The results were incredible. Read the full BBC Article by clicking here.
