We will support Malawian schools by increasing their digital capabilities. We will install computer labs so that students can learn vital digital skills and so their teachers have the tools needed to produce adapted learning resources in response to coronavirus.

Situation
In Malawi only 3% of schools have a functioning computer lab, meaning that hundreds of thousands of students are leaving schools without the digital skills they need. A lack of digital skills heavily impacts disadvantaged students, exacerbating inequalities and leaving already marginalised students further behind. The impacts of coronavirus also mean that teachers need to adapt to new learning environments where remote learning is becoming ever more important.
Solution
This project will enable Malawian students to gain vital digital skills by targeting schools and providing them with computer labs, delivering teacher training, and giving extra support to marginalised students. Each school we work with will receive 20 PCs donated by UK businesses and training to ensure teachers and students can get the most from the PCs. We will support rural schools through subsidised IT and ensure girls are given equal access to IT through girls IT clubs.
