Huawei, together with Hiperdist, KCB Foundation and Digion/Smatrace Solutions Ltd., on Tuesday hosted a Smart Classroom Workshop in Nairobi to show how technology can improve teaching and learning in schools with limited resources.
The workshop brought together representatives from 20 Muslim schools who were introduced to Huawei’s Smart Classroom Solution.
The digital platform is designed to make lessons more interactive and improve access to education.
The event took place at the Huawei Exhibition Room, where schools took part in demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on sessions to see how the tools can be used in class.
“Huawei believes technology should be an equalizer,” said Maureen Mwaniki, Public Affairs Director at Huawei Kenya. “The Smart Classroom Solution is meant not just to digitize education, but to give all students, even those in underserved communities, access to quality learning.”
One highlight of the day was Steadfast Academy confirming it will start using the Smart Classroom Solution, becoming a reference school for others looking to adopt the technology.
KCB also backed the project. “We are committed to supporting inclusive, future-focused education,” said Virginia Mwangi, SME Specialist and Relationship Manager at KCB. “This partnership with Huawei reflects our shared goal of preparing students for the digital economy.”
Earlier this year, Huawei worked with UNESCO and government partners to complete Phase II of the Kenya DigiSchool Connectivity Project.
The program connected 21 schools to high-speed internet, including six institutions for learners with special needs, reaching more than 10,000 students.
An evaluation of Phase I showed strong results: 98% of students said the internet met their learning needs, 84% found lessons more engaging, and 71% said they understood difficult topics better.
The DigiSchool project supports Kenya’s Digital Superhighway Agenda and Vision 2030 while also contributing to global Sustainable Development Goals on education, innovation, reduced inequalities, and partnerships.
“Access to quality education is a driver of success,” added Ms. Mwaniki. “Our role is to make sure students everywhere have equal opportunities to thrive.”
The workshop highlighted how smart classrooms can bridge the digital gap and help schools prepare learners for a technology-driven future.
