Since 2022, VINCI Energies has been supporting three UNICEF projects that seek to help participant schools access the Internet and the information it brings, enabling them to provide a quality hybrid learning experience that combines digital tools with more conventional classroom approaches.

In Timor-Leste, VINCI Energies is funding a project to equip several schools in the municipalities of Liquiçá, Ermera and Ainaro with an Internet connection. This project will ensure more than 6,000 children aged 6 to 15 receive a quality education incorporating digital resources.

As part of the programme, 249 teachers in the selected schools have participated in a training needs assessment conducted by UNICEF Timor-Leste. The purpose of this exercise is to identify the areas where they are most in need of support to adapt to using new technologies. The findings will form a basis for enhancing existing learning programmes and teacher training in terms of content, approaches and other technical aspects.

UNICEF is delivering this project in collaboration with Timor-Leste’s Ministry of Education.
