Huawei ICT Academy Kenya is working with higher learning institutions under the Learn ON program to help transition from face-to-face learning to online learning.

Huawei and the academic partners held a webinar to discuss how learning institutions can join the program. The Webinar for Online Higher Education brought together UNESCO experts, university professors, and experts from Huawei’s ICT academies to discuss global best practices for mitigating the impact of the pandemic on education.

The Corona virus global pandemic is first and foremost a health crisis. Due to this most countries have made the correct decision to close all education facilities.

In Kenya, over 15 million Primary, Secondary and University students have been sent home. Severe short-term disruption has been felt by families’ across the country. We have had to re-think how to educate them in these tough times. The crisis has provided an opportunity for education institutions to improve and to maximize their ICT capabilities.

Samuel Kinuthia, Head of the Centre for Professional Certifications at Zetech University, Kenya said “Zetech University is a Huawei-authorized ICT Academy that has integrated Huawei-certified ICT Associate Routing & Switching (HCIA R&S) into its BSc in Information Technology curricula, this was one of many courses that was affected when face-to-face learning was suspended at the university”.

To create contactless online education systems for educators and students, Huawei’s Learn ON program provides high-quality resources on an open platform together with financial support to ensure education continuity. Some of the key benefits in the program include, a $5 million Huawei ICT Academy Development Incentive Fund (ADIF), more than 100 online Train the Trainer (TTT) to be provided from April to December, and over 1500 teachers are expected to be trained. 50,000 students are expected to be trained through online self-learning, courses, and classes.

“The seminar opened up possibilities on responding to the challenges of engaging teachers and professors during this period of COVID-19 especially in Africa for learning to continue. The successful experiences shared and the commitment of Huawei to work collaboratively towards advancing digital solutions and tech4all skills give hope in building resilient education systems now and beyond COVID-19”. Said Ann Therese Ndong-Jatta, Director of UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa.
