Several primary schools in Laikipia County have received laptops and digital learning materials under a digital literacy programme aimed at equipping learners with basic computer skills from an early age.

The programme is part of a broader national effort to integrate technology into the curriculum and prepare learners for a digital future.

"These children are the digital generation. Giving them early exposure to technology will only benefit them in the long run," said a teacher at one of the beneficiary schools.
