JAKARTA - Realizing the important role of pesantren in Indonesia's digital transformation, Huawei distributes support for the quality of information and communication technology (ICT) to improve the quality of students' learning.

Titled Caring For Ramadan 1445 H: Sharing Happiness and Connectivity For Advanced Indonesia, Huawei Cares For Ramadan is the implementation of Huawei's commitment to 'I Do Care' and 'I Do Contribute' which focuses on activation of digital talent.

With the support of this ICT solution, students are expected to be able to prepare themselves in the face of competition in the digital era, through providing telecommunications support devices and teaching and learning activities for orphanages and Islamic boarding schools in 12 cities in Indonesia.

Director General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology, Kemendikbudristek, Abdul Haris, appreciated Huawei's initiative in providing ICT support to Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia.

"Given the increasingly complex and dynamic challenges ahead, we strongly support Huawei's initiative to encourage students to be in addition to mastering religious science and the language of Koran, as well as mastering Digital Science and Programming Language," Abdul said as quoted on Sunday, March 31.

Furthermore, through this assistance, Huawei also wants to strengthen the ability of Islamic boarding school-based religious education in Indonesia in accessing sources of information supporting various and actual teaching and learning activities.

In addition to being useful for strengthening personal digital capacity and competence, this activity is also expected to generate interest in students' entrepreneurship to open up new business opportunities and jobs in their activities.

"Huawei hopes to contribute more to equitable education and development of digital talent which brings broad benefits to all young Indonesians in preparing a brighter future towards Indonesia Gold 2045," concluded Mohamad Rosidi, Director of ICT Strategy & Business, Huawei Indonesia.
