MACRA donates 10 computers to Malawi Police Secondary School

The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA), through its Universal Service Fund (USF), has donated 10 computers to Malawi Police Secondary School, in a move aimed at strengthening digital learning and promoting access to information and communication technology (ICT) among learners.

The donation is expected to support the establishment of a computer laboratory at the school, giving students greater opportunity to acquire practical ICT skills and improve their digital literacy.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, MACRA Board Chairperson Chancy Gondwe said the initiative represented more than the provision of equipment, describing it as an investment in the knowledge, opportunities and future of young Malawians.

Gondwe said the computers would allow learners to gain practical ICT experience, access online learning resources, conduct research and develop technology skills increasingly required in both education and the workplace.

“This is not just about equipment, but an investment in the knowledge, opportunities and future of young Malawians,” Gondwe said.

Malawi Police Secondary School Board Chairperson, Commissioner Kelvin Mulezo, thanked MACRA for the donation, describing it as a significant milestone for the institution. He said the computers would help equip learners with valuable digital skills and strengthen their ability to participate in an increasingly technology-driven society.

The planned computer laboratory is also expected to complement classroom teaching by giving students the opportunity to apply theoretical ICT knowledge through practical, hands-on learning.

Through the Universal Service Fund, MACRA continues to promote digital inclusion by supporting access to ICT resources in schools and communities across the country, as part of broader efforts to bridge the digital divide and equip young people with the skills needed to participate in the digital economy.

The donation to Malawi Police Secondary School marks the latest step in that effort, reflecting MACRA’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to digital education for learners across Malawi.
