Samsung Electronics East Africa launched an integrated digital classroom platform aimed at helping Kenyan schools manage connected learning as the country accelerates adoption of technology under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The Samsung Digital Classroom combines Samsung tablets, interactive displays and the company’s Knox for Classrooms management platform, allowing teachers to deliver lessons, share content, monitor student participation and manage classroom devices from a single system.
The launch comes as Kenyan schools shift beyond simply providing devices toward adopting digital learning ecosystems that improve classroom engagement while giving administrators greater oversight of connected devices.
The platform enables teachers to present lessons on Samsung Interactive Boards, distribute learning materials directly to students’ tablets, conduct assessments and provide instant feedback. Knox for Classrooms allows schools to deploy, monitor and secure devices centrally across multiple classrooms and campuses.
Anthony Njihia, Mobile Experience B2B Manager at Samsung Electronics East Africa, said the next phase of Kenya’s digital education drive is ensuring technology improves learning outcomes rather than simply increasing device access.
“Samsung Digital Classroom has been designed to help education institutions create connected learning environments that are secure, collaborative and easy to manage, while enabling teachers to focus on delivering quality education and improving learner outcomes,” Njihia said.
He said governments and schools are increasingly looking for integrated solutions that support teachers, simplify administration and can be deployed sustainably across institutions.
Samsung said the solution is designed for primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions and technical training centres. The company added that it will continue working with education institutions, government agencies and partners to expand digital learning and strengthen digital skills.
The launch forms part of Samsung’s “The Future of Learning Starts Here” campaign, which promotes the adoption of connected technologies to support more inclusive and digitally enabled classrooms in Kenya.
