Liquid Telecom Kenya has connected 152 schools to website domains as part of a broader effort to enhance schools' abilities to deliver online learning. The domains were delivered in partnership with Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC).
The programme launched in May involves schools from nineteen counties and has a target to register 2,000 sc.ke domains. The programme provides the selected schools with a platform to onboard domains on Liquid Telecom’s Domain Name System (DNS) platform for free, and it administers the domains to get them working, along with free hosting for basic school websites and training about internet identities and domain security.
The teachers now have access to official designated school domains instead of personal emails enabling a more secure digital environment.School domains act as a trusted address book to verify the identity of school websites, teachers’ emails and e-learning platforms, and can even offer school learners with a trusted online identity.
