Mozambique university gets SAP curriculum

SAP University Alliances and Foris Telecom, a leading global operations company, have signed a joint memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide the SAP curriculum and WiMax connection courses to the Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique.

The MOU will be used as a pilot for the roll-out of the SAP University Alliances curriculum to Sub-Saharan Africa and other regions in the Continent.

SAP said this was testament to its commitment to unearth new talent and skills in the information and telecommunications sector.

“African development is a critical part of what the University Alliance is about. This initiative therefore adds impetus to the SAP campaign for talent and skills for rapidly developing and growing markets,” said Max Fuzani, University Alliances Manager at SAP Africa.

Foris Telecom said the partnership would enable it to help least developed communities access broadband.

“The agreement fits in with the Foris Telecom objective of bringing broadband to the masses in least developed countries. We believe in the value that the SAP University Alliance Programme will provide in bridging the skills divide,” said Dr Yonathan Mizrachi, Digital Inclusion and eGovernment Officer at Foris Telecom.

The Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo is the oldest and largest institution of higher learning in Mozambique. It will join several other universities that are already part of the SAP University Alliances around the globe.
