Anthony Salcito, vice-president of education for Microsoft Corporation’s Worldwide Public Sector will visit Malta tomorrow. Besides meeting Microsoft Malta’s team and visiting the Microsoft Innovation Centre, Mr Salcito will also visit Stella Maris College which this year is one of Microsoft’s Lighthouse Schools following a successful pilot project hosted by Microsoft and Maltese company Smart Technologies.
Schools join Microsoft’s Lighthouse programme when they show particular effort in fostering a digital learning environment by implimenting initiatives that equip students with critical skills needed to be globally competitive. Microsoft Lighthouse schools serve as a model for how to effectively implement a transformative learning model and close the technology divide between students who have access to technology and opportunities and those who do not.
Adrianna Zammit, country manager, Microsoft Malta and Cyprus, said: “This is an exciting time for Malta’s education sector and Microsoft is embarking on a number of new initiatives. Mr Salcito’s visit will underline Microsoft Malta’s focus on continuing to enable our youth to achieve success, drive economic growth, and be leaders in EU for hybrid cloud environments.”
