178 junior schools in Nyeri receive smart boards under digital literacy programme
Karugu said the initiative is designed to equip learners with digital skills and create opportunities for them to use technology in learning and knowledge sharing.
Nyeri County in Kenya has seen the distribution of 178 smart boards to junior schools as part of a digital literacy initiative. Launched by State Department for Arid and Semi-Arid Lands Principal Secretary Caroline Karugu, the program aims to enhance access to technology in learning institutions. Karugu emphasized that digital literacy involves empowering children to learn, create, collaborate, and share knowledge.
The program aligns with President William Ruto's vision of fostering a digitally empowered generation that can contribute to Kenya's economic growth. The installation of smart boards in these schools is expected to facilitate interactive digital learning tools, complementing traditional teaching methods. This initiative is part of broader efforts to integrate technology in Kenyan schools and develop the skills required for a digitally driven economy.
The rollout in Nyeri focuses on equipping junior schools with smart boards and supporting equipment to improve basic education access to technology. Karugu stated that these digital literacy skills will enable children to learn, create, and collaborate, preparing them for Kenya's future economy.
