“I believe this ICT training will significantly enhance classroom delivery, empowering our teachers with modern digital skills and preparing our learners for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century,” Minister Moyo said.
He noted that equipping educators with knowledge in digital literacy and artificial intelligence is expected to promote innovation, creativity and critical thinking among students.
“By equipping educators with knowledge in digital literacy and artificial intelligence, we are building a strong foundation for innovation, creativity, and critical thinking in our schools,” he added.
