Computer Education Trust (CET)

The Computer Education Trust (CET) was established in 2020 and given the task of implementing and managing a computer education project in secondary and high schools. Operating in close partnership with the Ministry of Education the CET aims at introducing computer skills to teachers and students in Swaziland by:

• Developing teaching materials appropriate to the teaching and learning environment in Swaziland’s schools. 
• Training teachers and students in secondary schools.
• Ensuring the provision of appropriate software and hardware in schools.

The project is at the pilot stage and 24 schools have been selected from four regions of the country. This covers schools from urban, semi-urban and rural areas. Twelve of these schools were selected for phase one of the pilot and one teacher from each school attended a one-day workshop on “Computer Awareness”. In addition, a computer was provided for the CET teacher. The second phase will commence at the end of this year. CET has also donated nine computers to a teacher training college in order to infuse technology in pre-service training.
