Chisinau, 19 November 2024 — Gloria Theoretical High School marks a significant step in enhancing digital education for students and teachers in Moldova. Through a partnership between the Orange Foundation and the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), 30 schools across the country will receive digital tools to improve the learning of their students and teachers. As more refugee children in Moldova join physical classrooms, these tools will help ensure that both local and refugee students can benefit from a modern, inclusive education system.
Orange Foundation and UNHCR donated 90 digital kits—three per school—that make learning more interactive and engaging. Each kit includes tablets for students, a server for sharing materials, headphones for focused learning, an audio speaker for group activities, a projector for visual lessons, and a laptop to support teachers.
Schools and teachers receiving the kits will also get training to help them use the tools effectively in their classrooms. This training will focus on practical skills and new ways to improve learning.
“This program is about building inclusive and innovative education,” said Anne-Marie Deutschlander, UNHCR Representative in Moldova. “By equipping schools with these tools, we want to ensure that both local students and refugee children have equal opportunities to learn and grow in a technology-driven world.”
Olga SURUGIU, CEO Orange Moldova: “Orange Moldova has stood by the citizens of Ukraine from the very first day they needed help whether it was the allocation of voice traffic or free Internet, WiFi networks at border crossing points and Temporary Placement Centers or social inclusion of children in local communities through social projects. The donation that the Orange Group Foundation is making will help teachers to organize more interactive and engaging lessons for the little ones, and children – to discover the potential of technology and an appetite for digital innovation.”
By integrating these digital resources, the program supports Moldova’s goals to prepare a generation of digitally skilled and adaptable youth.
