Learners in schools with limited access to computers risk being left behind as the education system and job market shift towards digital skills, technology and artificial intelligence.
Education stakeholders are now calling for greater investment in digital literacy.
This, they say, provides learners with the skills needed to compete in a technology-driven economy and be part of experts creating solutions to challenges facing communities.
The concern has prompted private and community organisations to equip schools with computers and establish digital laboratories, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
One such initiative is being implemented by the Rotary Club of Nairobi-Lang’ata in respective communities across the country.
