The democratization
of education in the world
Education for all children and the right to schooling without discrimination of gender, language, region, class, or race (The pedagogic dictionary, 1967)
Research project
Africa
A scientific initiative by Dugga and partners aiming to transform the digital education ecosystem in developing regions with limited resources. The mission of the scientific research project is to standardize quality education worldwide especially in rural areas with limited or no internet access and electricity, in unreached marginalized regions while developing and sharing the skills of teachers worldwide.
To advance the democratization of education.
To improve learning outcomes and align with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Sub-Saharan Africa raised primary school enrollment from 52% (1990) to 78% (2012), yet major inequalities remain.
Children from the poorest households are 4x more likely to be out of school.
Rural vs. urban disparities remain high.

The project
Dugga is committed to advancing the democratization of quality education worldwide. At the heart of this mission, Mnini Secondary School is set to be transformed into a Modern, Fully Digitalized Showcase School, a model for future-ready learning in Tanzania. Together with key partners, Dugga aims to build a coalition of innovative tech partners to create a sustainable digital ecosystem for education.
From the slopes to the
future
Transforming Mnini school into a model for modern, inclusive learning. On the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro lies Mnini Secondary School. Dugga’s co-founders have long supported the community, contributing to water distribution and the rebuilding of the school. Now, the next step is to transform Mnini into a modern digital school environment.
Educational challenges on the slopes of Kilimanjaro
For the project, selected schools in remote areas will undergo a complete transformation to modern fully digitalized showcase schools. Currently, these schools have no or very limited access to internet, electricity nor computer devices. The first school to kick off this project is the Mnini Secondary School, located on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Moshi, Tanzania.
