The initiative marks a significant step in the Government’s unwavering commitment to bridging the digital divide and nurturing a technologically advanced generation in line with Vision 2030.
The event showcased the national drive to integrate technology into the learning environment, ensuring that Zimbabwean students are equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century. This vision has been consistently championed by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Professor Torerayi Moyo.
“Connectivity is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for learning in the 21st century,” said Professor Moyo.
