As part of the company's preparations for the Mobile World Congress 2023, Huawei today announced that it has joined the UNESCO Global Alliance for Literacy (GAL). The declaration was issued at a summit on digital talent that Huawei and the GAL Secretariat, the Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), jointly organized.
Huawei and the UIL decided to work together to promote the use of technology to increase literacy at the summit. The two sides also agreed to cooperate, and as part of that agreement, Huawei will help UIL expand its present programs to improve the use of technology by educators in poor nations. The UIL project is now active in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, and Nigeria.
Being the first commercial corporation to join the GAL as an associate member, Huawei is thrilled that its own objectives complement the organization's mission to end youth digital illiteracy.
"Our rapidly changing world demands coordinated efforts and strong collaborations to provide great education and lifelong learning for all," UIL Director David Atchoarena said during the ceremony.
"Huawei's experience in the field of learning innovation will be a wonderful benefit to the Global Alliance for Literacy," Atchoarena concluded. No one will be left behind on this trip thanks to cooperative ventures like ours.
"Having the correct education is frequently the key to success in life," Vicky Zhang, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Huawei, added.
To incorporate as many people as possible, Huawei believes that it has a duty as a key participant in the technology industry to supply technical skills everywhere in the globe.
Zhang continued, "We are happy to work with UNESCO to better fulfill this obligation.
Digital talent, in the opinion of Huawei, is a crucial factor in achieving digital transformation, strong economic development, and improved quality of life. Huawei has provided a broad and ever-expanding selection of talent programmes since 2008.
Huawei offers digital training programmes and scholarships to tens of thousands of individuals annually under its Seeds for the Future banner, targeting all age groups. Also, the business supports and arranges tech contests where students may gain new skills and compete for rewards.
More than 2.2 million digital talents have been nurtured so far in more than 150 countries thanks to Huawei's Seeds for the Future program. The business's ICT Academy has a yearly capacity of roughly 200,000 pupils. Huawei said in 2021 that it had already committed $150 million and intended to spend an additional $150 million in the development of digital talent by 2026, which is anticipated to help an extra 3 million individuals.
