YONECO, through the Building Education Foundations through Innovation and Technology (#BEFIT) programme, has continued to support the education sector by addressing challenges affecting digital learning in schools.
One of the major concerns has been the rising number of gadget breakages, which often hinder lessons and limit access to digital resources.
To tackle this, a comprehensive ICT repair training session was conducted at Meru Teachers Development Centre (TDC), bringing together participants from Meru and Dam primary schools. The training aimed to equip teachers and coordinators with practical skills to troubleshoot and fix minor technical faults, such as faulty headsets and stuck audio jacks.
During the session, participants learned how to diagnose, test, and repair common issues affecting classroom gadgets. The Coordinator from Dam Primary School emphasized that such skills would reduce dependence on district-level repairs and minimize lesson disruptions.
In a hands-on demonstration, the coordinator successfully repaired two headsets, showcasing the effectiveness of the training. Participants expressed confidence in applying the new skills to keep digital learning running smoothly in their schools.
#BEFIT is a government of Malawi owned and led programme aimed at enhancing foundational literacy and numeracy skills among learners in standard 1 to 4 across all public primary schools in Malawi through supplemental, individualized, self-paced instruction delivered via specialized apps on android tablets.
