| Facilitating access to online education in Uganda
Many of the emerging markets in which MTN operates struggle to access relevant
quality education. In particular, access to digital content and online educational material
is uncommon.
MTN Uganda has facilitated the rollout of the Microsoft pathfinder school e-learning
platform across the country, adding content on the platform and donating connectivity
solutions. We have partnered with Gayaza High School (a Microsoft pathfinder school) to
drive awareness of the e-learning platform as a means of creating access to quality and upto-
date education material for both teachers and students in secondary schools, particularly
in rural areas.
At the end of 2012, we supported 26 schools. In early 2013, we will extend access to another
24 schools. |
