"""""""One of the TCRA’s strategic objective is to promote efficient and affordable communication services and increase access to postal and ICT services to under-served and un-served areas. In order to fulfill the strategic objective TCRA created a project called ICT Pack, which has been adopted in the subsequent annual action plans and budget. The project aims at facilitating access to ICTs for designated groups such as women, youth and disabled. Since year 2015 TCRA has been conducting the ICT pack project, which involves issuing of ICT facilities such as Computers, printers, specialized computers for the blind and low vision girls students, and provision of Internet services. The project has benefitted more than six thousand (6000) girls students from twenty one (21) schools located in remote areas in Tanzania. Below are some of the results of the ICT Pack project:
1. Girls Students who registered for ICT National Examination have been noted to have good performance in their examinations due to presence of computers for learning. Before having the ICT Pack project the students’ performance in ICT subject were not satisfactory in National Examinations.
2. The internet service provided in the project helps teachers to prepare teaching materials from different online sources for students.
3. As the results of having the project many girls students have been encouraged to take the ICT subjects which compelled schools to register them and seat for the National Examination in ICT Subject. Before the project, only few girls students were registering for ICT subject during the National Examinations. """""""
