The 60 Decibels teacher study at a glance

In March 2024, 60 Decibels-trained researchers interviewed 208 teachers using Kurasa in Kenya, drawn from a client population of 991.

• 95% said their teaching practices improved.
• 94% said their quality of life improved, and 73% said very much.
• 86% reported less time on administrative tasks.
• 87% said learner academics improved, and 90% said classroom participation increased.
• Net Promoter Score was 40, below the 60 Decibels education benchmark of 51.

How to read these figures

The findings are teacher-reported. The interviews were by phone, the margin of error is ±5% at 95% confidence, and Acumen sponsored the study. The study did not test learners, so it describes what teachers observed rather than measured learning gains. Forty percent of teachers had met a technical snag, and their Net Promoter Score was 15, against 57 for the rest.
