Abstract
Educational software and apps offer a potential solution for the global learning crisis in maths and literacy. When designed, implemented, and integrated effectively, these programmes can offer accessible and personalised learning experiences for young children at school and at home. This paper synthesises current evidence evaluating the use of educational software and apps with young children aged 0-8 years in early childhood and primary education, including those from disadvantaged and marginalised groups across a range of low-, middle- and high-income countries. Based on this evidence synthesis, recommendations for system-wide conditions in the EdTech ecosystem to achieve optimal outcomes for all children are discussed, including potential avenues for effective pedagogy, implementation, and integration.
