- 14 viewsA programme that is aimed at boosting digital literacy among schools in frontier counties is slowly gaining momentum. At least 120 teachers are benefiting from the program, which will in turn help more than 34,844 learners in various schools. The program, which is sponsored by the Education Technology Easy Africa organization (EdTech) and other partners in the education sector, is aimed at helping the teachers and learners in marginalized areas access digital services and adopt technology in their classrooms. Among the contributing factors to low digital literacy in the region are: Geographic and Infrastructural Challenges, limited Access to Technology, education System Gaps, socioeconomic Barriers, and limited Digital Training Opportunities, among other factors. Speaking during a press briefing in Garissa, EdTech CEO Jennifer Otieno said that they are creating a platform where different stakeholders can come together and create solutions for challenges facing the adoption of technology in schools.
