In a letter signed by Mr. Alimamy Kamara, the Deputy Director of Education, Pujehun District and representative of the Minister for education in Sierra Leone on the project, pledged the Ministry’s support and commitment to the project.
A team from Dext Technology will be in Sierra Leon from Sunday, March 20, 2022 to Saturday, March 26, 2022 to organize a preliminary workshop and exhibition for teachers and also to meet officials from the ministry of education to discuss the collaboration in details.
