Electrification of Primary Schools

During the subsequent financial years (2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16) REA’s focus was on electrification of primary schools to support the Government’s Digital Learning Programme. This has been implemented through grid extension in schools within grid network and installation of solar PVs in schools in off-grid areas. This programme has enabled the implementation of the Digital Literacy Program across the country. It has improved education standards for pupils, increased security of education infrastructure, and increased Primary to Secondary transition rate as a result of better educational performance.
