Government plans to equip all public secondary schools with computers as a way of promoting digital transformation and effective teaching in the country, ICT minister Dr Chris Baryomunsi said on Friday.
Dr Baryomunsi was officiating at the launch of a multi-million community digital center established by the American Tower Corporation (ATC) - Uganda in partnership with government at San Giovanni School-Makiro in Kanungu District.
“We are grateful to ATC-Uganda for its efforts of establishing a digital community center at San Giovanni School to provide ICT skills to the students and community members,” Dr Baryomunsi observed.
The minister highlighted that although ATC-Uganda is well known for establishing network towers, their role in establishing ICT centers in the country is welcome.
“As government, we are grateful to ATC-Uganda and shall continue working with them for purposes of digital transformation in our country. I appeal to the students to properly utilize the established digital community center to excel in their academics,” he emphasized,
