Meringeni Secondary School in Old Moshi, Kilimanjaro Region has inaugurated a computer laboratory as part of TEDI Tanzania’s One Computer Lab One School Program. During the launch, Moshi District Commissioner Kisare Makori said the government’s education policy aims to ensure that all secondary‑school graduates are digitally literate. He stressed that digital literacy is crucial for individual, community and national development and commended TEDI for its role in improving computer education in secondary schools. Makori also thanked students from Drexel University for their contribution to the project.
TEDI Executive Director, Gloria Anderson, explained that the project builds computer labs in government schools and equips students and teachers with digital literacy skills. To ensure sustainability, she noted that the new lab, equipped with 14 computers, will serve as a resource centre for other schools.
Representing the Drexel University delegation, Senior Director of Education Abroad Ahaji Schreffler said the lab would connect Meringeni students with the world and encourage them to use the opportunity to enhance their talents and education. The launch demonstrates continued collaboration between local authorities, international partners and TEDI to expand digital education in Tanzania.
