Uganda continues to advance its digital learning agenda by integrating technology into classrooms nationwide, with the government distributing computers, expanding internet access, training teachers in information and communication technology, and introducing emerging tools such as artificial intelligence to enhance teaching and learning.

While presiding over the handover of 25 computers to St Theresa Primary School Mayirye in Mityana District, the State Minister for ICT, Joyce Nabbosa Ssebugwawo, emphasized the importance of guiding students to use the internet responsibly and focus on academic content.

"Teachers must guide learners on the proper use of the internet so that it becomes a tool that strengthens learning rather than distracting them from their studies," Ssebugwawo said.

The minister further revealed that the Ministry of Education and Sports is developing systems to regulate the type of online content students can access on school computers, ensuring they remain focused on educational material.

Education experts note that the initiative aims to transform Uganda's education system from a traditional knowledge-based model to a competence-based learning approach, where students acquire practical digital skills alongside academic knowledge.

The ministry believes that strengthening digital learning infrastructure and promoting responsible use of technology will be key in improving education quality, preparing students for higher education, and equipping them for opportunities in the modern digital economy.
