[UgaBYTES] [witfor] Public private partnership and ICts

[NKURUNZIZA Jean Paul]

That's a good news Vicky,

As a BYTC member, we are trying to implement such a project in secondary
schools of Burundi since 2006.
We have worked in only two schools up to now.
Hope we can learn more from your project !

Sincerely
