Tanzania Enlightenment Development Innovations (TEDI) officially handed over a computer laboratory to Naisinyai Secondary School in Simanjiro District, Manyara Region, as part of its One Computer Lab One School Program. The initiative aims to integrate ICT into teaching in low‑resource public schools and prepare young people for the digital economy.
Simanjiro District Commissioner Dr Suleman Serera thanked TEDI, noting that the lab will equip students with training in digital skills, computer use, curriculum subjects, electronic textbooks, information about ICT opportunities and leadership skills. The project helps bridge socio‑economic divides highlighted by the Covid‑19 pandemic, which left many students without devices or digital skills. TEDI Executive Director Gloria Anderson expressed gratitude to the U.S. government’s Mandela Washington Fellowship Programme and the district authorities for supporting the project. She urged more partners to join TEDI in modernising education, emphasising that Africa’s workforce will be the world’s largest by 2035 and that investing in young people’s education is critical. By investing in digital infrastructure and human capital, countries can prepare youth for the digital economy and future of work.
