Kotebe University of Education (KUE) and DirectED Development Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today, on the 19th of December 2022, to work together in designing and implementing a cost-effective, scalable, and evidence-based scholarship training program.
At the event, Dr. Berhanemeskel Tena, the President of KUE, said that KUE’s Science Shared Campus students are brilliant and need to be assisted to make them tomorrow’s best scientists and engineers. The President also expressed that the students are very interested in studying Information Technology and Software Engineering.
Mr. Simon Sallstrom, the CEO of DirectED Development Foundation, underscored that his organization is enthusiastically interested in equipping talented students, particularly young schoolchildren with digit skills in its short-term plan. Mr. Simon also expressed that in the long term his organization would give the opportunity to a larger population of students to build the capacity of developing nations and hence enhance successful development, especially where resources are scared to assist the young generation.
It was learned the Foundation has been delivering successful training in Kenya, and it is also hoped that the organization replicates the same here in Ethiopian schools.
