MTN Rwanda is collaborating with the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) to boost digital skill development and broaden access to digital learning across the country's education system.
According to the telco, the partnership was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement establishes a long-term relationship aimed at using technological solutions to improve education.
Central to this collaboration is the company's recently launched Digital Skills for Digital Jobs initiative, which is a learning and career guidance platform designed to provide Rwandan youth with market-relevant skills for the country's growing digital economy. It also provides career guidance and access to over 500 digital skills courses.
According to the operator, it will be incorporated into MINEDUC's next initiative, Resilience in Secondary Education (RISE), which targets young people who have not completed school.
By enhancing access to digital learning for learners, teachers, and out-of-school youth, the government is providing young people with the skills they need to prosper in the 21st century economy.
Educators teaching English-language courses will benefit from personalised data packages, while education content will become easier and more available as a result of the cooperation.
Joseph Nsengimana, minister of education, stressed the partnership's practical focus and concrete advantages for teachers and students.
He commented: “This partnership between the Government of Rwanda, through the Ministry of Education, and MTN is about more than connectivity it is about skills that change lives.
“Beneficiaries of the RISE Programme will also be supported, and more broadly, young people across the country will gain access to over 500 digital courses.”
“Together, these efforts will open pathways to jobs, informed career choices, and inclusive growth, reflecting our commitment to ensuring that no learner is left behind in Rwanda’s digital transformation.”
