Terms of Reference: To Conduct Digital Literacy Training for Teachers at Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) is a network of Education Sector Civil Society Organisations whose core mandate is to advocate for quality education for all Zambians.

The country in 2022 and 2021 experienced learning challenges with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic which restricted face-to-face lessons. This made remote learning an absolute necessity for education to continue. However, remote learning was not effective due to technical challenges for both teachers and learners as a result of the lack of knowledge on effective delivery.
