aprendIA is an AI-enabled WhatsApp chatbot for teachers–providing instant help for today's class and micro-courses for long-term skill building.

What aprendIA can help teachers with:

Why the Ministry of Education chooses aprendIA

  • Co-created with the government. Through partnerships with the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and the Ministry of Education, state actors shape the product from day one. Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States (BAY) have all committed to full roll-outs, with written commitments to scale.
  • No hardware, minimal training. aprendIA runs on teachers' own phones over WhatsApp. There is nothing to procure.
  • Costs fall as reach grows. Approximately $13 per teacher per year at scale. Open-source platform with local capacity building for long-term sustainability.
  • Safe by design. Safeguarded AI with IRC specialists reviewing responses for quality, accuracy and safety, plus a dedicated safeguarding course equipping teachers to protect the whole child.
  • Evidence-led. An independent impact evaluation launches in 2027, measuring effects on classroom practice and student learning outcomes in the BAY states.
