The actress harped on the need to embrace digital literacy, stressing that access to laptops gives the students opportunity to develop technology skills and prepare them for opportunities in higher education.
“In today’s world, digital literacy is no longer optional; it is essential.
“Access to laptops gives students the tools to explore knowledge beyond the classroom, develop critical technology skills, conduct research, and participate in a global learning environment.
“It also helps bridge the digital divide that often limits the potential of talented young minds simply because they lack the right resources.
“By equipping these schools with laptops, we are empowering students to learn more effectively, think creatively, and prepare for opportunities in higher education and the modern workforce.” She said.
The actress further maintained that the initiative, beyond donation of laptop, will open doors to innovation, confidence, and a future where these students can compete and thrive in an increasingly digital world.
