This initiative aligns with the Genius IT Foundation’s Smart Education Program, which aims to empower students and teachers with essential digital skills.
The Country Director of VMF conveyed deep appreciation for the collaborative effort, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in fostering effective educational initiatives. The focus extends beyond merely providing infrastructure; it encompasses monitoring and capacity building for teachers to optimize the use of the ICT facility in the teaching and learning processes.
The ceremony was attended by esteemed guests, including traditional and opinion leaders from the community, underscoring the community-wide significance of the project.
A representative from the Educational Planning School Authority, in a remark, urged the school and students to maximize the potential of the new facility. The call extended beyond just utilizing the resources but also emphasized the need to actively address the digital divide, ensuring that all students have equal opportunities to benefit from the enhanced learning environment.
This effort of Van Moorhouse Foundation marks a positive step forward in leveraging technology to enrich educational experiences and bridge gaps in digital access within the community.
