Learning Passport Reaches Its First 16 Pilot Schools in Equatorial Guinea

During the pandemic, Equatorial Guinea relied on the television and radio programme "La Escuela en mi Casa" for distance learning; once schools reopened, the country sought a more durable digital successor.
On 25 June 2024, the Ministry of Education, UNICEF Equatorial Guinea and the Fundación IDENTIC launched the national Learning Passport — an online, offline and mobile-accessible learning platform built on UNICEF and Microsoft's global Learning Passport technology, loaded with curriculum content adapted to the national syllabus. The rollout began with a pilot of 16 schools (eight in Malabo and eight in Bata), preceded by teacher-training sessions covering both the continental and insular regions of the country.
As a newly launched pilot, no independent evaluation of student outcomes is yet available; its main documented strength is deliberately equitable design — offline functionality for areas with limited connectivity and balanced coverage of the country's mainland and island regions — rather than demonstrated learning gains.
