When built, this infrastructure will serve clusters of schools thereby contributing to the spread of ICT knowledge.

Collaboration with educational institutions

The foundation acknowledges the power of collaboration in ICT, therefore it will forge partnerships with various schools to provide ICT related training. Students will be given lessons in key areas to bolster their knowledge and skill in ICT.

Provision of essential ICT resources

In a bid to lay a good foundation and facilitate hands-on learning, CERMES will provide less-privileged schools with essential ICT resources. This will enable the students to build upon and pursue their technology interests now and in the future.

Specialized training for ICT teachers

The foundation will provide training for ICT teachers in public schools wit the aim of empowering them in core ICT competencies. An award scheme will be put in place for excelling ICT teachers.
