Clever ways to get kids learning

BBC World Service - People Fixing The World, Clever ways to get kids learning

We look at innovative educational solutions in Senegal, Ghana and Pakistan.

Schools across Senegal have discovered a clever way for children to surf the web even when there isn't any signal.

They're using a special WIFI hotspot which works without an actual internet connection, so students and teachers can access all the relevant bits of the web, offline.

Around the world, innovators are coming up with solutions like this - all designed to get children learning.  We also hear from an entrepreneur revolutionising how science is taught in Ghana and a night school in Pakistan for children not in formal education.
