The new Sustainable Development Goals call for quality education for all. This study aims to examine the role of mobile educational technology, through the School in a Box intervention, particularly in supporting teachers skills in achieving quality education, in the context of a public primary school in Mozambique. Quality education is examined specifically in relation to participative pedagogical practices designed to contextualise learning in locally relevant meaning, and providing children with the skills of learning how to learn. Additionally it is examined in the context of teacher professional development and creating peer support structures within the teaching community enabling teachers to be at the forefront of initiatives introducing mobile educational technology in low resource learning environments in Sub Saharan Africa.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of teachers’ motivation and process of quality education in primary schools of Ethiopia. A descriptive survey was employed to achieve this purpose. Among the 40 government primary schools found in Banija District, 12(30%) were taken as a sample by using the simple random sampling technique. A sample size of 119 teachers was selected by using the systematic random sampling technique. 12 principals were also purposively included in the study. The instruments of data collection were questionnaire and interview. The data gathered through close-ended questionnaires were analysed quantitatively by frequency, percentages, mean and Pearson’s correlation statistics. The data gathered through document analysis and interviews were analysed qualitatively through narration for the purpose of triangulation. The results indicate that the teachers had a low level of motivation with extrinsic motivators. On the other hand, the findings of the study showed that teachers had a good status of intrinsic motivation and the status of their process of quality education was also good. Finally, the research findings revealed that, as teachers’ motivation increases their processes of quality education also increases. Thus, this study recommends that in order to deliver quality education, teachers should be motivated with attractive salaries, provision of accommodation and instituting awards, as well as strengthening intrinsic motivators.   Keywords: Teachers’ motivation, process, quality education, primary school.
