HARARE - Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Torerayi Moyo has welcomed the approval of Starlink connectivity in Zimbabwe, describing it as a transformative breakthrough for the country's education sector.

Posting on his X account, Moyo said the initiative will especially benefit rural and underserved schools, helping to bridge the digital divide and expand access to modern learning tools.

"Indeed, the approval of Starlink marks a transformative moment for our education sector. I am deeply encouraged by the opportunities this creates, especially for our rural and underserved schools," he wrote.

He noted that the rollout, supported by POSB and complemented by solar system installations, aligns with President Emmerson Mnangagwa's vision of a modern, inclusive, and digitally empowered Zimbabwe.

"Access to reliable internet is no longer a luxury - it is a necessity for quality education in the 21st century," Moyo added.

The initiative is expected to enhance e-learning, improve teacher-student engagement, and expand access to digital resources across the country.
