Five days a week: how often teachers actually open Kurasa

Usage is the unglamorous table in the report, and it is the one that explains the others. Teachers who open the platform five days a week report stronger outcomes across the board than teachers who open it one to four days.

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.

72% use Kurasa five days a week

94% Create digital lesson plans
90% Run CBC assessments
55% Send guardian reports
28% Use digital grade books

One hundred and forty-nine of 208 teachers used Kurasa five days a week; 59 used it one to four days. Five-day users reported higher “very much” scores on quality of life, teaching practices, time savings, confidence, student participation and academics.

What they open it for is consistent: 94% lesson plans, 90% CBC assessments, 55% guardian reports, 28% digital grade books. The product that shows up every weekday is planning and assessment, not a once-a-term event.

In their words

Kurasa has made preparation and accessing of our work very easy by use of a few clicks… I am also able to track the school attendance at the click of a button.

Every school day

The system has to survive Tuesday morning.

Workspace, attendance and formative assessment are the five-day stack.
