Promotion of digital competences

Large parts of the rural population in Uganda lack ICT skills, which are a prerequisite for many professions today. It is true that many people own mobile phones, which are used to make phone calls and send messages, and which are also used to transfer money digitally. But they often lack access to a computer and the opportunity to learn basic programmes such as Word, Power Point or Excel in practice. Due to insufficient equipment with PCs, many pupils receive more theoretical than practical digital knowledge. ADEPT wants to change this and therefore supports schools in their plans to expand ICT subjects and modernise school education in this way.
