Nigeria's top glass and aluminum solutions provider, ABUMET, has made a significant educational investment by donating a state-of-the-art digital learning center to Race Course Model Primary School in Kano. This initiative aims to give hundreds of students access to modern technology and practical computer education for the very first time.
The gift includes 24 desktop computers, a solar-powered electricity system, and new classroom furniture. The company's General Manager, Diemo Schillack, revealed that the project was driven by ABUMET's aim to bridge the digital divide and ensure children are not left behind in an increasingly technology-driven world. Schillack emphasized that early exposure to technology can significantly impact a child's educational journey, boost confidence, and open up future career opportunities.
The school's Head Teacher, Salisu Alhassan, expressed deep gratitude to ABUMET for this transformative contribution, noting that the computers, solar power facilities, and learning furniture will greatly enhance teaching and learning, particularly in digital literacy. The school currently educates around 600 students from Early Childhood Care and Education (ECC) to Primary Six, and the new digital learning center will provide practical experience with computers, applications like Microsoft Office, and skills in writing, calculations, record-keeping, and information management.
ABUMET plans to revisit the school within a year to evaluate the pupils' progress and the impact of the learning center.
