Education Technology is a solution in TpGroup's [Technology](https://tpgroupsl.com/what-we-do/technology.md) sector, delivered by TpISENT. TpGroup is based in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Written for: Education (schools, colleges and universities); Government (ministries, departments and agencies). Markets served: Sierra Leone, Liberia, The Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, West Africa, Africa.

## Why: A connected campus, not separate systems that do not talk to each other

University and college leaders need a connected campus. School owners need modern teaching on a realistic budget. Ministries and funders need programmes that reach many schools and can report results. Buying systems, networks and training from separate suppliers leaves each part waiting on the others.
