MTN officials including Zulfat Mukarubega, a board member of MTN Foundation, visited Rusumo High School where they officially opened the lab.<\/p>\n
Paul Mugemangago the Senior Manager, Legal and Corporate Affairs at MTN Rwanda said, \u201cMTN supports education and ICT as part of our corporate social responsibility. Within education this project termed as \u2018ICT School Connect\u2019, is designed to enable teachers and pupils in secondary schools gain practical skills on the usage and understanding of ICT and how it can add value to their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the project was inaugurated in 2010 it also allows them have access to Internet in their own locality and premises. This is a way of MTN Rwanda empowering young people so that in the future they can become of economic relevance to the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Already 6 high schools from different provinces have benefited from the project. They include Essa High School in Musanze, Ste Bernadette in Huye, Kabarondo High School, Kanombe High School, ESG Rubavu and Gihundwe high School<\/p>\n
Overall MTN Rwanda has donated over 250 computers in these schools, across the country with more 5,500 students and 300 teachers benefiting from the project to leverage ICT in education in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC).<\/p>\n
During the year 2010\/11 about Rwf150 million has been spent on \u2018ICT Connect School\u2019 projects. In 2012 two more schools are scheduled to benefit from the same project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
