It may be common for students at school in Europe to use computers, tablets and laptops in their lessons, however in rural Morocco, it is not usual to see a computer in a school and less likely for a student to have access to a computer at home. Added to that are connectivity issues- living in a remote village might mean connecting to the internet is a challenge.
This is why having computers and laptops at the EFA boarding houses is a boon! Not only does access to computers help with studies, especially since covid where a lot of teaching in Morocco went online, it also helps build digital skills.
The EFA girls have ongoing access to computers, laptops and tablets thanks to funds raised in this project- thank you! It is not uncommon to see girls sharing a tablet, watching videos that teachers have posted online so that they can revise for exams and expand their knowledge outside of school.
This is also very helpful as, since Covid, many students fell behind and lost classroom time. Online learning is needed to fill the gaps. If the girls were back in their villages, this kind of learning would be impossible.The house mothers also benefit from using computers and learning how to organise digital schedules and communicate with the EFA Committee Members and staff members in the UK.
A huge THANK YOU from all of us for providing these digital resources which empower the girls to build their IT skills so they can plan their future studies and future employment with confidence!
