Digital Transformation for schools in Burundi

The Digital Transformation project aims to equip 15 public schools from 15 provinces of Burundi by equipping them with ICT Labs (equipped with 20 computers each) and providing training to 300 (three hundred) teachers with ICT skills on concepts of integrating ICT in teaching and learning. This will help in accelerating access to quality teaching and learning materials to bridge the digital gap in 15 remaining provinces of Burundi. Project Objectives is :a) To provide ICT user proficiency training to teachers and administrators and to enhance the digital transformation in teaching and learning in 15 schools of Burundi by guiding teachers on how to use ICT and the internet for teaching ,b) To increase the teaching and learning resources available online for teachers and students, c) To provide opportunities for exchange of knowledge, innovation, digital entrepreneurship, social values and expertise through sharing of online resources.
