Teacher Training at National Scale via WhatsApp
How One AI Ed Non-Profit Scaled Teacher Training in Rwanda via WhatsApp — with a 93% Completion Rate
In July 2025, MIT RAISE and Day of AI partnered with Rwanda's Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and the Rwanda Education Board (REB) to train teachers in foundational AI concepts. To support delivery and measurement, Day of AI used Chatac — a WhatsApp-based learning management system — to deliver pre/post assessments and surveys, track teacher progress in real time, and automatically issue digitally verifiable certificates.

Why It Matters
Day of AI needed a reliable way to capture high-quality training data — especially completion of pre- and post-tests and surveys — without the drop-off typically seen with web-based forms. The goal: deliver teacher assessments in a way that was simple, accessible, and scalable for national rollout.
The Goal
Deliver teacher assessments in a way that was simple, accessible, and scalable for national rollout — while capturing complete pre/post data to measure meaningful knowledge gains.
Why Day of AI Used Chatac
Day of AI chose Chatac because it allowed teachers to complete training surveys and assessments directly inside WhatsApp, reducing friction and making participation feel like a guided experience rather than a separate task.
Higher Completion Rates
Chatac drove 93% completion rate vs. low-80% on web forms — capturing more complete assessment data and reducing the need for follow-up.
Pre- & Post-Assessments Built Into Delivery
Day of AI used Chatac to deliver surveys and course content during the workshop — supporting pre/post testing, learning check-ins, and data collection inside one WhatsApp experience.
Real-Time Visibility For Organizers
By building courses on Chatac, Day of AI gained access to each teacher's real-time progress and understanding, enabling better facilitation and monitoring during delivery.
Automated Certification At Completion
At the end of the course, Chatac automatically deployed digitally verifiable certificates to teachers — removing manual admin work and ensuring completion was documented.
