Chalkboard Education

Chalkboard Education is an education technology company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Accra, Ghana. It builds a mobile-first, offline-capable platform that helps NGOs, universities, and development organizations deliver training content in communities with limited internet access across Africa.

The platform lets program teams create interactive lessons, distribute them to learner devices without a live connection, and fall back to SMS delivery where smartphones are scarce. A built-in analytics dashboard tracks enrollment, attendance, and completion so managers can report outcomes to funders. Customers include NGOs, universities, and partners such as UNICEF, the African Union, and the Mastercard Foundation.
