Angaza Center Partnership
Petit Séminaire Saint Jean Nkumba joined the Angaza Center network to expand technological opportunities for its students and community. Through this partnership, the school aims to promote digital literacy, integrating ICT skills into academic and everyday life to prepare learners for the demands of the modern world.
The school already has a secure ICT room with electricity, capable of seating 40 students, and currently operates with a set of older computers. With Angaza Center’s support, Petit Séminaire Saint Jean Nkumba plans to enhance its resources, train more teachers and students, and foster collaboration with other member schools. This initiative aligns with the school’s vision to be among Rwanda’s leading institutions producing graduates capable of applying digital skills in all sectors of society.
