15 December 2025

Zimbabwe has unveiled an ambitious plan to provide equitable access to technology, educational content, and online learning resources for all students, regardless of their geographic location.

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education announced that the “One Pupil, One Tablet – One Student, One Laptop” programme will be rolled out across the country in 2026.

Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerayi Moyo, described the initiative as a bold and transformative step aimed at modernising the education system by equipping learners with personal digital devices. He emphasised that the program is vital for bridging the digital divide between urban and rural schools and aligns with the broader goal of creating a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready education system.

Moyo added that the Ministry is actively collaborating with various stakeholders, development partners, and the private sector to ensure the successful implementation of the initiative. He expressed confidence that the future of Zimbabwe’s education landscape is digital and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to making this future accessible to every learner.

“Education is the foundation of national development. Let us build it with innovation, equity, and purpose,” said Moyo.
