Govt, Microsoft deal on cards
THE Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education is today expected to sign a one-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft Corporation that will seek to enhance access to the use of ICT in Zambian Schools.
Through the Partners-in-Learning MOU, both organisations will seek to improve adoption and use of technology in Zambian schools, increase capacity of teachers and students to use technology as a teaching and learning tool, and support initiatives that incorporate ICT in education.
Microsoft East and Southern Africa general manager Louis Otieno said technology was now becoming a driving force behind numerous aspects of national development and hence the need for Governments to embrace it.
“High-quality education is a fundamental component to the social and economic prosperity of any community,” he said in a statement.
“In today’s increasingly digital and connected world, computer skills are no longer a nice to have skill, but a requirement in almost all careers,” Mr Otieno said.
