The Rwandan government and Microsoft have entered a three-year partnership under which they will ensure at least two smart classrooms in every secondary school in the country. The move forms part of efforts to exploit technology in streamlining the delivery of education in Rwanda.

The project falls under Microsoft’s Rwanda connectivity programme that is supporting provision of affordable wireless Internet to schools in the country.
