Building Sustainable School Connectivity: A Learning Opportunity for the KCL Community

At KCL, we believe that digital transformation is not just about technology, it’s about people, systems, and the capacity to design solutions that last. As Uganda continues to expand digital access across schools and communities, the question is no longer whether we connect our learning institutions, but how we build models that are sustainable, resilient, and context‑appropriate.

That’s why we are excited to share a new learning opportunity offered in partnership with Giga, UNICEF, and ITU:
Operating Models and Sustainability of School Connectivity, an online instructor‑led course running from 15 April to 13 May 2026.

This course is free and open to policymakers, regulators, ICT professionals, educators, and anyone committed to strengthening Uganda’s digital ecosystem.

Why This Course Matters for Uganda

School connectivity is more than installing internet in classrooms. It requires:

  • Clear operating models
  • Strong governance structures
  • Sustainable financing
  • Collaboration across government, private sector, and development partners
  • Long‑term planning that ensures every learner benefits

This course equips participants with practical tools to assess, design, and implement sustainable connectivity models that work in real‑world national contexts, including ours.

For Uganda, where digital inclusion is a national priority, this training offers a timely opportunity to build the capacity needed to support equitable education and future‑ready learners.
