The leading telecommunications company in Kenya, Safaricom, has signed a partnership deal with Kodris Africa to promote the study of the coding syllabus by purchasing annual classes on the M-Pesa mini app.
Kenyan parents will now buy tokens for a year’s worth of coding lessons through Safaricom’s M-Pesa platform and then activate them on a tablet, laptop or desktop computer for their children to learn how to programme computers.
Kodris Africa also offers attractive school packages to ensure learners can access the lessons through affordable packages.
The programme is accredited internationally by Pearson and is online-based, meaning parents can choose to purchase licences for their children.
Kodris Africa is the provider of Kenya’s first-ever government-approved programme for teaching coding skills, which are in huge demand today.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) approved the coding syllabus launched by ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru last month.
Kodris Africa CEO Mugumo Munene said that the skills students would learn via Kodris Africa will be relevant today and tomorrow and allow them to explore and unleash their creativity and innovativeness in a highly digitized and computerized world which offers growth opportunities.
