Intro

So on the podcast today we have Stephen Dumba, a Ugandan teacher and WordPress community leader. We discuss Uganda's ICT curriculum, which now makes computer education compulsory for 17-18 year olds, and the efforts to equip schools with computer labs. Stephen shares his transition to WordPress, highlighting its ease of use and community support. He discusses his initiatives to train teachers and students, organising Meetups, and his vision for large-scale WordPress events in Uganda, despite financial constraints. Stephen’s dedication aims to empower Ugandan youth with essential web development skills. If you’re curious about how WordPress is shaping communities and education in Uganda, and the broader implications of ICT education in different regions, this episode is for you.
