Technology And Education During COVID-19 And Beyond

In this episode we are joined in conversation by Mr. Solomon King Benge, founder of Fundi Bots(a robotics non-profit that uses robotics training to create and inspire a new generation of students and innovators). He brings the conversation on Education-technology(something various communities are exploring within this pandemic) home, by highlighting what the quality of education and access to ed-tech looks like for various levels of learners within Uganda. It is no secret that there is a huge breakdown in equity within the education community. He spotlights that the scope and breadth of work we need to do in the education sector goes beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 has exposed areas in which innovative work needs to be championed, there needs to be a general commitment to the wellbeing and welfare of Africa's children.
