Each School received: 2 desk top computers, 1 lap top, 1 project and 1 projection screen and 2 speakers. The equipment were given by RWECO and RICNET with funding support from Connect for Change.

In his remarks the ED RICNET, Mr. John Murugahara, noted that the project was being implemented in 6 secondary schools and 2 Primary Teachers Colleges. That RWECO was working with Computers for Schools Uganda to ensure that the teaching of English Language becomes lively through the use of ICT Tools.

He warned that, morality in schools had become rampant and asked RWECO to always talk something during the training of teachers.
