About the project
Bauchi State, located in north-eastern Nigeria, faces significant challenges in terms of digital access and educational opportunities. According to recent statistics, approximately 75% of the population in Bauchi L.G.A lacks access to computers and the internet. This digital divide hampers students' ability to explore educational resources, engage in online learning, and acquire crucial digital skills. Furthermore, only a limited number of schools in the area have computer labs, which are often overcrowded and insufficient to cater to the needs of all students. The EDASE project aims to address these gaps by providing a dedicated STEM lab equipped with computers and internet connectivity.
Updates
The ICT-lab is currently being set up. Camera, router, desks, chairs and computers have been purchased and installed. The laptops are ready to use!
