Samsung Launches Digital Classroom to Advance Kenya’s Education Transformation

Samsung Electronics East Africa has unveiled an integrated education solution aimed at accelerating Kenya’s digital learning agenda. 

Dubbed Samsung Digital Classroom, the offering brings together Knox for Classrooms, Samsung Tablets and Samsung Interactive Boards to help schools deliver connected, secure, and collaborative learning experiences.

As Kenya advances its Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and embraces digital transformation efforts, educational institutions are moving beyond merely providing devices to seeking comprehensive solutions that improve classroom engagement, streamline technology management, and produce tangible learning outcomes. Governments, school administrators, and education stakeholders are equally pursuing sustainable digital learning models that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled across institutions.

Samsung Digital Classroom is designed to meet these evolving needs by integrating classroom management, device security, and collaborative teaching tools into a single, connected ecosystem. The solution enables teachers to deliver lessons more efficiently while giving schools the ability to centrally deploy, monitor, and manage learning devices across multiple classrooms.

At the core of the solution is a seamless Samsung ecosystem that links Samsung Tablets with Samsung Interactive Boards, allowing teachers and students to transition smoothly between devices during lessons. Educators can present content on the Interactive Board, share materials instantly with student tablets, track class participation, administer quizzes and assessments, and offer real-time feedback, all from one platform powered by Knox for Classrooms. 

The Interactive Display functions as the classroom’s collaborative hub, while the Tablets allow learners to access digital content, complete assignments, and engage in interactive activities. With Knox for Classrooms, schools gain enterprise-grade security and the ability to manage devices at scale, giving administrators better oversight of their digital learning environments.

For governments, school leaders, and education institutions investing in digital learning, the solution offers a secure and scalable pathway to implementing connected classrooms across multiple campuses. By combining classroom management, interactive tools, and robust security into one ecosystem, Samsung Digital Classroom enhances teaching effectiveness while helping institutions maximise the return on their technology investments. 

The solution is suitable for primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and technical training centres. Parents also benefit from the assurance that classroom technology is being used in a structured, secure, and education-focused manner, with teachers maintaining full control of the learning experience.

Speaking at the launch, Anthony Njihia, Mobile Experience B2B Manager at Samsung Electronics East Africa, emphasised that education technology should empower the entire learning ecosystem from policymakers and school leaders to teachers, parents, and learners. “Kenya has made significant strides in advancing digital learning, and the next step is ensuring that technology delivers real impact in the classroom,” said Njihia.

“Samsung Digital Classroom has been designed to help education institutions build connected learning environments that are secure, collaborative, and easy to manage, while allowing teachers to focus on what truly matters: delivering quality education and improving learner outcomes.“

Njihia noted that as governments and institutions continue investing in education technology, there is a growing opportunity to shift from standalone devices towards integrated digital ecosystems that support long-term transformation. “Digital transformation succeeds when technology works seamlessly for all involved,” he added.

“Teachers need tools that simplify lesson delivery and assessments. School administrators require visibility and control over devices. Parents want confidence that technology supports learning. And governments need scalable, sustainable solutions. Samsung Digital Classroom brings all these elements together in one ecosystem to help build classrooms that are ready for the future.”

The launch is part of Samsung’s broader “The Future of Learning Starts Here” campaign, which aims to spark conversations about the future of education while demonstrating how connected technology can create smarter, more inclusive, and future-ready classrooms across Kenya.
