Thirty schools across Kenya began the 2026 academic year with satellite internet connectivity for the first time, following a programme initiated by Grow X Education , a US-based education technology organisation, in partnership with the Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA), a national institution under Kenya s Ministry of Education. Starlink provided the connectivity, describing the initiative as delivering reliable internet to schools in remote parts of Kenya to improve digital literacy for students and teachers.
