BOOKR Class Selected for UNICEF’s Learning Cabinet of Trusted EdTech Solutions

The UNICEF Learning Cabinet is a curated discovery platform designed to help ministries of education, donors, and policymakers identify high-quality digital learning tools they can trust. Built around the EdTech for Good Framework, it evaluates solutions against rigorous criteria: safeguarding children’s safety and privacy, demonstrating measurable improvements in learning outcomes, ensuring inclusive and age-appropriate design, and proving readiness to reach diverse contexts, including low-resource environments.

The platform is built on the EdTech for Good Framework, which evaluates tools along five core pillars:

1. Safety First – privacy, data security, responsible use, avoiding harm.
   
2. Impact on Learning – evidence that the tool produces measurable, positive outcomes.
   
3. Designed for Children – age-appropriate, engaging, user-friendly designs.
   
4. Ready to Reach All – scalable, cost-effective, works in various contexts (connectivity, infrastructure, etc.).
   
5. Leave No One Behind – inclusive of learners with different needs, backgrounds, and geographies. 

Gaining a place in the Learning Cabinet is not easy. Fewer than 5% of applicants are accepted following expert review and validation. BOOKR Class did not just pass this process but received the highest possible evidence rating – 3/3. This rare recognition means that our research-based methodology, supported by measurable results from both internal and external studies, meets the highest international standards. For us, impact has always been the most important measure of success, and being able to demonstrate it at this level is a milestone we are deeply proud of.

This comes at a critical moment. Around the world, the learning crisis continues to grow: in many low- and middle-income countries, seven out of ten 10-year-olds cannot read and understand a simple text. Education leaders are faced with the overwhelming challenge of choosing among thousands of EdTech products, many of which lack reliable evidence. The Learning Cabinet was created precisely to cut through this noise – highlighting tools that are safe, effective, and scalable. Being listed here means BOOKR Class is now more visible than ever to the decision-makers who can bring our solution to children who need it most.

For us at BOOKR Kids, this endorsement is also deeply personal. We built BOOKR Class with the conviction that learning can and should be both joyful and effective. That belief has guided everything – from the design of our digital library to the research partnerships that test and refine our impact. The recognition by UNICEF validates this approach, giving us the chance to bring our vision to more classrooms, more ministries, and more learners worldwide.

This achievement also belongs to our team. From our educators and researchers to our developers and content creators, every person at BOOKR Kids has contributed to building a solution that is not only creative but also scientifically sound. The Learning Cabinet listing is both a reward for this hard work and a motivation to keep pushing forward.

We are honored to join the community of innovators that the Learning Cabinet represents. Together, we share a responsibility: to ensure that digital education tools deliver real learning outcomes and to support education systems in addressing the global learning crisis.
