Community Guidelines

How we keep EduShare Africa a safe place to learn

These guidelines apply to everyone on the platform — teachers, students and parents.

Last updated: January 2026 Applies to all users
1
Our core principle

EduShare Africa is a platform for sharing quality educational resources. Every teacher, student and parent who uses it deserves a safe, respectful and useful experience.

These guidelines exist to protect that experience. Everyone who uses EduShare Africa — whether uploading resources, leaving reviews, or accessing materials — agrees to follow them.

Our goal is simple: make it easy for Kenya's best educators to share their knowledge, and easy for students and parents to access it safely.

Content standards for teachers

All uploaded materials are reviewed before they go live. To be approved, resources must meet these standards:

  • KICD-aligned or compatible with the CBC curriculum
  • Appropriate for the grade level and subject it is tagged for
  • Original work — or work you have the right to share
  • Complete and usable as described (not partial or misleading)
  • Free of hate speech, explicit content, or discriminatory material
  • Professional language appropriate for an educational context

The following are not allowed on the platform:

  • Content copied from other teachers without permission
  • Misleading titles, descriptions or grade-level tags
  • Material containing adult, violent or inappropriate content
  • Resources that are empty, corrupt, or do not match their description
  • Advertisements or promotional content disguised as educational material
3
Child safety
EduShare Africa has a zero-tolerance policy for any content that could harm, exploit or endanger children. This includes images, text, videos or any material that sexualises, threatens or endangers minors in any way.

Any content of this nature will be removed immediately, the account will be permanently banned, and the matter will be reported to the relevant authorities in line with Kenyan law.

If you see content that may harm a child, report it immediately using the report button on any resource page or by contacting us at hello@edushareafrica.com.
