Speaker, Anita Among has today, commissioned a digital learning facility at Kachumbala Primary School in Bukedea District, with an impassioned call to schools to embrace digital education.
The digital classroom installed by Nkumba University under the Digitally Community-Centered Early Childhood Development Approach (DECEDA) with support from Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), and Ministries of Education and Sports, and ICT, is a transformative initiative aimed at promoting inclusive and technology-driven early childhood education in underserved communities.
During the launch, Speaker Among, also Bukedea District Woman MP, tasked learners to maximise the digital classroom for research to enhance access to quality education, and bridge the learning gap with the other privileged schools.
"As government, we shall continue promoting the digital era in everything we are doing whether in education, health, or business. Our learners are no longer in the analog regime that we went through. They are now in a digital world and they should be able to maximise technology for quality learning," she said.
Among directed UCC to equip the school with more computers to complement the digital classroom to fully achieve the objectives of the project.
"I want to thank UCC for implementing government programs on the promotion of ICT. Continue digitizing schools in all areas of Uganda so that our learners continue getting quality education," Among said.
She also applauded teachers for calling off their strike, saying government is committed to comprehensively addressing their grievances in the shortest time possible.
