Liquid Telecom South Africa in partnership with Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) is equipping learners at Batlhalerwa Secondary School with ICT equipment and training to help improve their digital skills and achieve better results at school. Batlhalerwa Secondary School is based in Lephalale Rural, Limpopo and has over 500 registered learners.
Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams said “As we drive societal digital transformation, access to ICT infrastructure and training forms a basic tenet of our digital inclusion imperative. The department, therefore, continues to partner with industry stakeholders to provide Cyberlabs that are equipped with devices, both at schools and community centres.”
For the past two years, the South African government has been vocal about how the digital revolution is unlocking job creation and stimulating economic growth. Liquid Telecom South Africa has responded to this shift by donating some of the latest equipment to the school and providing training to help ensure that the learners and the teachers have an opportunity to improve their digital literacy. These efforts echo Liquid Telecom’s belief that every individual on the African continent has the right to be connected.
Reshaad Sha, CEO Liquid Telecom South Africa said: “We believe that to truly prepare young South Africans for the digital revolution, they need to be empowered with devices that will develop and strengthen their ICT skills, as well as training that ensures that these skills are nurtured to prepare them for the future digital workplace”.
