Our Mission
At its core, RESPECT connects the needs of developers and educators, enabling developers to build and maintain high quality, locally contextualised tools that reflect real classroom conditions and align with local languages and curriculum goals.
It’s about building EdTech that lasts, where it matters most.
“Much of EdTech is pilot-driven and disconnected from education systems, leaving developers without clear growth pathways and teachers with tools that don’t last. Even the best apps can’t succeed without empowered teachers, capacitated ministries, and an enabling policy environment. RESPECT responds to all three, supporting policymakers, educators, and developers, to build solutions that align with real classroom needs and can grow and last.”
