Digital Literacy and Technology Education for Pupils
GINMI's Digital Literacy and Technology Education Programme introduces pupils to essential digital skills and responsible technology use.
Designed for: Primary and secondary school pupils, children from underserved communities, schools with limited access to digital education, teachers, and educational communities.
Preparing Children for a Digitally Connected World
Digital knowledge is increasingly important for education, communication, creativity, and participation in modern society. Children who have opportunities to learn basic computer skills can become better prepared to use technology for learning and future development.
Giving to the Needies Mission International (GINMI) promotes digital literacy as part of its commitment to education, inclusion, and community empowerment.
GINMI's documented activities include offering free digital literacy training to pupils at Dorris-Chad International Schools in Ebonyi State on 27 September 2021. Building on this experience, the programme provides a foundation for expanding access to practical technology education where resources and partnerships permit.
