BDT Director Doreen Bogdan-Martin, participated in the High-Level meeting on “Reimagining Education in Africa" organized by the African Union Commission (AUC) and UNICEF on the sidelines of the 76th United Nations General Assembly.
She provided an update on ITU-UNICEF Giga school connectivity initiative's work on the African continent, and described active engagement with the governments of Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Niger.
Reflecting on the need for education systems to be modernized and connected, as outlined in the UN Common Agenda, Ms. Bogdan-Martin encouraged the international community's support as Giga expands safe and affordable internet access in schools and their surrounding communities.
''Today, leaving no-one behind, means leaving no young learner offline'', she said.
