Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza on Thursday officially handed over a fully equipped computer laboratory to learners at Umdlamfe Secondary School in Esikhawini, Richards Bay, as part of government's Back-To-School Programme.
The state-of-the-art facility was established through a partnership between the Department of Home Affairs and HONOR South Africa, which supplied the laptops for the laboratory. The initiative is aimed at promoting digital literacy and advancing skills development among learners, particularly in previously disadvantaged communities.
The new laboratory is expected to help bridge the digital divide by equipping learners with essential technology skills and exposing them to emerging fields such as artificial intelligence. The facility will also provide access to digital learning resources, enabling students to strengthen their academic performance and prepare for participation in the digital economy.
