By Honest Makanyire |Child Registry has launched an initiative to help teachers in Zimbabwe through disbursement of Information, Communication and Technology(ICT) gadgets via hire purchase.

Child Registry, in consultation with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education will distribute more than 12 000 laptops to teachers under the hire purchase scheme. The payment period ranges from one year to five years.

The scheme enables teachers to use the gadgets while paying paying relatively low and affordable amounts.

“The thrust of the scheme is to equip teachers with relevant new technology skills in line with the emergence of digital communication.

Teachers need to carry out online research and it is common knowledge that we are now living in a digital world- as such educators need to be in touch with new teaching systems to enhance learning processes.Several initiatives are in the pipeline,” Child Registry said in a statement.

“Child Registry is an organization sponsored by various African/US/UK and European regulated institutions.

Our objective is to contribute to the betterment and prosperity of all Registered Children in Africa through African Child Prosperity Fund (ACPF).

The ACPF is a Structured Investment Vehicle that gives parents an opportunity to contribute towards their children’s future. The scheme enables every child to have resources for a better and brighter tomorrow,” a Child Registry official said.
