Free to start. Made for Junior School teachers, Grades 7 to 9.

Less time writing, more time teaching

Every term you write a scheme for each class, then a plan for every lesson, and they must be ready when they are checked. Elimu writes the first draft of each one.

  • Scheme of work

    The whole term, week by week, fitted to the weeks you actually have.

  • Lesson plans

    Made from your scheme, a week at a time, or one quick plan for tomorrow.

  • Lesson notes

    Worked examples, questions to ask and common mistakes learners make.

  • Assessments

    Opener, mid-term and end-of-term papers with a marking guide.

Questions teachers ask

Where does the content come from?

Elimu drafts each document from the KICD curriculum designs for your grade and learning area. It is a first draft: read it and adjust it for your learners before you teach.

Which classes are covered?

We are starting with Junior School, Grades 7 to 9. If a curriculum design isn't in Elimu yet, we tell you so you can check the content carefully.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Elimu is built for Android phones and light on mobile data. You can print from a phone or a cyber.

How much does it cost?

It is free during the pilot, for every class. Later, one class will stay free and a term pass will cover the rest. You don't need a card or M-Pesa to create an account.
