{{Tigo and OLPC-Mineduc launch the elected school for the project of taking Rwandan primary schools online. GS Kimisagara is the the first school to be connected.}}<\/p>\n
The announcement follows the agreement, whereby MINEDUC provided a list of schools to be connected as TIGO sponsors the infrastructure development, including wiring classrooms and installation of wireless LAN with internet access points.<\/p>\n
Diego Camberos, Chief Executive Officer of TIGO announced that they would provide the school with Internet service free of charge to complement a donation of computers from MINEDUC .<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that internet provides multitude of possibilities to younger students, allowing them to receive the same knowledge and exposure as other primary kids in more developed countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
“With internet connectivity, we are able to better equip our youth with information, subsequently creating the future leaders of Rwanda\u201d <\/p>\n
Camberos was joined by Hon. Vincent Biruta, Minister of Education, Regis Gatarayiha, RURA Director General, The Mayor of Nyarugenge Mrs. Solange Mukasonga and finally Nkubito Bakuramutsa, OLPC Project Coordinator. <\/p>\n
This contribution by TIGO will enable students and teachers to have full access to learning tools provided through the Internet. It is a major boost for Rwanda\u2019s youth, teachers and the entire education system.<\/p>\n
The Wi-Fi network at Kimisagara School is linked via a point-to-point connection to Tigo\u2019s core site in Nyarutarama. A number of access points carefully installed within the classrooms will enable school kids to connect their laptops and browse the internet via the established connection.<\/p>\n
Nkubito Bakuramutsa, Project Coordinator of OLPC has expressed his support for this project by saying: \u201cThe Rwanda OLPC program is thankful for Tigo contribution to the enhancement of education through the integration of technology in schools. <\/p>\n
We would like to see this partnership reach more schools and inspire more companies from the private sector to participate to this noble effort\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
