Aligned with Rwanda’s Vision 2050 and the National Strategy for Transformation, this project is designed to support Rwanda’s transition into a globally competitive knowledge-based economy. In the near future, the benefits of this project will be expanded to further bridge the digital divide and continue to empower teachers and students with cutting-edge technology.

The milestone means nearly 1.5 million students across Rwanda — in Kigali as well as remote, rural communities — can now access high-quality education resources on an equal basis.

“A student in Kigali can now share knowledge remotely with peers in Rusizi. These are the real impacts of digital inclusion: bridging distances, breaking barriers, and giving every child the chance to dream bigger,” said Jin Jiqing, Managing Director of Huawei Technologies Rwanda.

Alongside the Smart Education Project, Huawei and the government’s Ministry of ICT & Innovation and Ministry of Education have launched the DigiTruck project to deliver free and tailored digital skills training to underserved communities, with a focus on out-of-school youth, girls, and farmers. Equipped with laptops, Internet access, and digital learning devices, the DigiTruck is a mobile, solar-powered classroom that can be driven to remote communities, with expert trainers on hand to provide training even in areas that lack Internet access or a power supply.
