Oblongata Technology Solutions, in partnership with Kolok Namibia, on Wednesday donated two printers to Waterberg Junior Secondary School in Windhoek to support digital learning.
The donation is part of a regional programme of the companies which will see more schools equipped with top-of-the-range printers in the coming days across the country.
Oblongata Technology Solutions director Valeno Niipare says this is aimed at enhancing the school’s SiMS e-Learning pilot project, which is currently underway across the country.
The pilot project paves the way for the adoption of a home-based e-learning system for all government schools in rural and urban areas once successful.
Niipare says the printers will thus play a key role in helping the school produce vital learning materials and administrative documents.
“The SiMS pilot project aims to bridge Namibia’s digital divide, ensuring that all pupils have access to tangible resources, no matter their location or connectivity,” he says.
The pilot project is being conducted at zero cost to the ministry, he says.
“We are empowering educators and students to maximise the benefits of e-learning, fostering a more inclusive and effective educational experience.”
