Students participating in computer training at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) computer lab recently had an opportunity to put their Microsoft Excel skills into practice during a practical examination.
Eight students, including seven boys and one girl, participated in the examination. Each student worked independently at an assigned computer, demonstrating skills developed during their computer training sessions.
The examination focused on practical spreadsheet tasks, including data entry, formatting, and the use of Excel functions. Students applied their knowledge to complete assigned exercises, including using the SUM function to perform calculations.
Building Practical Digital Skills
Computer literacy is an important skill for students preparing for further education and future employment opportunities. Learning how to use applications such as Microsoft Excel helps students become familiar with digital tools commonly used in schools, businesses, and workplaces.
Through its ongoing computer training activities, Develop Africa provides opportunities for young people in Sierra Leone to develop practical digital skills and gain experience using computers.
Practical exercises and examinations like this give students opportunities to apply what they have learned and demonstrate their understanding of essential computer applications.
Supporting Digital Skills Development in Sierra Leone
Develop Africa remains committed to helping young people access educational opportunities and develop skills that can support their futures.
By providing access to computer training and practical learning experiences, the organization continues working toward a future where more young people in Sierra Leone have the digital skills needed to pursue educational and professional opportunities.
