Engage Teachers through 'TeacherVoice'
Gather insight from the educators closed to the classroom
Why seek teachers' feedback?
The success of any education product, service, programme, or policy ultimately depends on the educators who use and experience it every day.
Teachers provide valuable insight into what is working, where challenges exist, and how solutions can be improved before significant time and resources are invested. Gathering teacher feedback helps organisations make better decisions, reduce risk, and build solutions that are more likely to succeed.
Through Engage, organisations can access structured teacher insights, commission surveys, test ideas, and gather feedback from relevant educator groups across Africa.
Commission your own survey
You bring the question, challenge or decision you want to explore. We help shape the survey, distribute it through the Ubuntu Hub and socials, gather responses and summarise the findings.
Co-design: We help shape the survey so that it lands effectively with teachers.
Distribute: We share your survey out amongst our teacher communities on the Ubuntu Hub and other socials.
Analyse: We summarise the survey findings and ‘surface’ what matters for you.
Deliver: We provide you with findings that will help you inform your way forward.

Request a focus group
Our focus groups are powered by something many organisations struggle to access: a trusted community of educators from across Africa. Through the Ubuntu Hub, we can bring together relevant teachers and school leaders to explore your questions, test ideas, validate products, and inform decisions. We don’t just facilitate discussions, we connect you directly with the voices and experiences that matter most.
Define: Share the question, challenge, product, or idea you want to explore with teachers.
Recruit: We identify and invite a relevant group of educators from the Ubuntu community.
Discuss: We facilitate a structured online focus group that encourages honest and meaningful discussion.
Report: We provide a summary of key themes, insights, and recommendations from the conversation.

Frequently asked questions
What is TeacherVoice?
TeacherVoice is Ubuntu’s teacher insight offer. It helps organisations ask teachers directly, gather useful feedback and understand what educators think, need, value and experience in practice.
A commissioned survey is often the starting point, but TeacherVoice can also support deeper insight projects, focus groups, product feedback, strategic research and ongoing data partnerships.
Who is TeacherVoice for?
TeacherVoice is for any organisation that needs meaningful teacher insight. We work with EdTechs, education organisations, NGOs, funders, government partners, programme teams and research organisations. It is especially useful when you need to understand teachers at scale, reach a specific educator group, test assumptions, gather product feedback, support programme design or build evidence for decision-making.
Why use Ubuntu Education?
Through the Ubuntu Hub, we have a trusted professional community of educators who are already engaging, sharing and learning in the space.
That trust matters. Teachers are more likely to respond honestly when the request comes through a community they recognise, in a format that feels relevant and teacher-facing. This helps organisations gather insight that is more grounded, more useful and more connected to real classroom experience.
How targeted can the insight be?
TeacherVoice can support broad teacher input or more specific segmentation depending on your goal. We can help you reach teachers by country, role, phase, subject, school type, experience, education sector, leadership level or other relevant community data points.
This level of reach and segmentation can be difficult to build from scratch. Ubuntu helps organisations reach the right teachers, not just more teachers.
What if we need more than a one-off survey?
If your question needs deeper exploration, we can scope a strategic data partnership. This could include focus groups, guided discussions, product testing, recurring surveys, insight reports, teacher panels or ongoing feedback loops.
This is best for organisations that want to keep learning from teachers over time, inform strategy, improve products or programmes, support policy or implementation work, and build decisions around real teacher voice.
