ABUMET, a glass and aluminium company in Nigeria, provided Race Course Model Primary School in Kano with a new digital learning centre.
The company donated 24 desktop computers, solar power infrastructure, and new furniture to the school, which educates approximately 600 pupils. This initiative aims to improve educational outcomes and equip young Nigerians with digital skills for a technology-driven world. Many students at Race Course Model Primary School had never used computers before receiving this access.
ABUMET General Manager Diemo Schillack explained the company wanted to help close the digital gap and ensure children have opportunities in the modern economy. The school has structured its digital learning program to allow all students to gain practical computer experience, even with a large student body, by organizing pupils into smaller groups. Students are currently learning Microsoft Office and developing skills in writing, calculations, and information management.
ABUMET plans to revisit the school within one year to evaluate the program’s impact and student progress. Head Teacher Salisu Alhassan thanked ABUMET for the transformative addition to the school’s resources, noting it will greatly improve teaching and learning in digital literacy.
