Dubai's Digital School programme is expanding to six African nations, aiming to support more than 500,000 people across Mauritania, Nigeria, Lesotho, Zambia, Namibia and Angola.

The three-year initiative will equip tens of thousands of teachers with modern education methods and digital skills to improve learning outcomes.

Programmes will be delivered in seven languages, ensuring broader accessibility to quality educational resources for underserved communities.

The scheme, run under Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, was launched in November 2020 to support refugees and displaced people worldwide.
