MTN Uganda opens inclusive ICT lab for pupils
MTN Uganda opened a computer lab at St. Mary Goretti Ngetta Girls Primary School, serving students with and without disabilities. The facility provides 970 pupils access to specialized software, sound equipment, and internet service for one year at no cost.
The lab is part of a 1 billion Ugandan shilling initiative to build 11 technology centers across the country. Five of these centers will accommodate learners with special needs through adaptive technology and equipment designed for various abilities.
Brian Kagwisagye from MTN Uganda said the company wants all children to use digital tools for learning. Local officials praised the project as an investment in education quality for the Lango region.
The program supports efforts to reduce technology gaps in schools and advance equal education access. Community leaders promised to help maintain the lab and expand its benefits to more students.
