Digital Mwalimu Project
1000 WordPress Ninjas
This project aims at introducing WordPress to 1000 learners from Primary, Secondary and Tertiary institutions and out of school youth in Uganda.
We believe that equipping learners with digital skills is key in preparing them for the world of work. With the fast evolving trends and as online platforms become a part a part of our daily lives, we purpose to build an army of experts that is ready to lead the shift in this part of the world.
Why this Project
“Utilisation of digital technologies/ICTs in the delivery of education services is still very low, leaving the majority of the students to lag behind in a changing world. Teachers are still relying more on the traditional “chalk and talk” teaching method rather than embracing the use of digital technologies. This is attributed to several challenges such as; inadequate digital literacy skills among teachers/trainers, fragile ICT infrastructures such as expensive and inaccessible internet and unreliable electricity and high computer student ratios in schools/learning institutions.”
