60 Decibels

Female teachers reported deeper impact. The numbers, without a slogan.

60 Decibels’ own headline was that female teachers reported deeper impact. The supporting numbers are specific. They do not license a campaign line about “empowering women in STEM.”

60 Decibels Lean Data Study, Kurasa Kenya, April 2024. Phone interviews with 208 teachers in Kenya, March 2024, in English and Kiswahili. Client population 991; response rate 52%; 95% confidence; margin of error ±5%. Sponsored by Acumen. Every figure on this page is teacher-reported. It is not the September 2026 homepage scale, and it is not the 2023 documentary snapshot.

78% of female teachers said quality of life very much improved, against 67% of male teachers

61% of the 208 teachers interviewed were female
45 NPS among female teachers, against 34 among male teachers
75% of women use the platform five days a week, against 66% of men
0.46 Inclusivity ratio (bottom 40% of the benchmark) — not a poverty-reach claim

One hundred and twenty-six of the 208 interviews were with women. They were more likely to say quality of life had very much improved (78% against 67%). Their NPS was 45 against 34. Seventy-five percent of women used the platform five days a week, against 66% of men. Of those who gained admin time, 41% of women against 32% of men used it for personalised learning.

Women over 35 reported stronger movement in classroom participation and academics than women under 35. That is in the segmentation tables; it is not a product targeting brief.

The inclusivity ratio is 0.46 — bottom 40% of the education benchmark. 60 Decibels uses it to estimate whether an organisation reaches less well-off clients. This study does not show that Kurasa is reaching the poorest teachers. Do not write that sentence.

Women were 61% of the 208 interviews. They also reported using the platform more days a week.

In their words

I spend less time in lesson planning using Kurasa compared to when I was doing it manually, so I am left with ample time to prepare my content.

The full ledger

Read the study, not a slogan.

The pillar piece keeps gender, NPS and inclusivity in one place.
