Global software firm Microsoft has joined forces with Rwanda’s ministry of education to help transform learning, further innovation and develop employment skills among students and educators in that country.

The partnership, which is planned to be carried out by Microsoft’s signature education initiative ‘Partners in Learning’ and the education ministry, aims to improve access to and use of ICT in primary, secondary and tertiary levels, a statement revealed.

Microsoft’s Partners in Learning programme helps teachers and schools around the world improve students’ experiences and skills through technology.

To date, over 13 million students have benefitted from the programme in sub-Saharan Africa.

“At Microsoft, we strongly believe in the role ICT can play in bridging the emerging opportunity divide and guiding youth toward the education, skills and opportunities they need to prosper in the hyper-connected era. Our aim is to help learners and educators throughout the world realise their full potential,” said Microsoft country manager for East and southern Africa, Eric Odipo.
