These schools were selected by the Kenyan Ministry of Education, Science & technology and GESCI to participate in the African Digital Schools Initiatives (ADSI)
During the visit the group saw, first hand, how the implementation of the ADSI project was progressing since it began in January 2017. Government representatives from the education sector as well as county officials accompanied the visiting groups.

Each of the schools had already received digital equipment to facilitate the project. Discussions took place with the teachers and school management after the teaching session and, following the visit, a very positive debriefing session took place in the workshop.
