During the closing ceremony of the first round of training, Zelalem Assefa (Ph.D.), MOE’s CEO for ICT and digital education, stressed that the ministry of education is focused on human resource development in the ICT sector and working with private companies such as Huawei to get practical training that supports the education sector. 

He also commends Huawei for its cooperation in providing training for female teachers. He also stressed that as advances in modern technology bring us closer, we must overcome the gaps between men and women in terms of tech engagement and tech leadership.
