Kenya Launches New Digital Literacy Programme in Rural Schools

The Ministry of Education has launched a new digital literacy programme aimed at transforming learning in rural schools across the country.

Officials say the initiative will reach ten thousand schools over the next three years, equipping classrooms with devices and training teachers in digital instruction.

Regional education directors welcomed the programme, noting that rural learners have long lacked access to the tools that their urban counterparts take for granted.

Funding for the project comes from a partnership between the government and international development partners, with the first phase expected to begin next term.
