MTN offers free data for schoolchildren’s education

MTN Nigeria has commenced a free data offer enabling primary and secondary school students to access educational content with over 500,000 students receiving free access to online learning.

The offer was kicked off in June 2020 and four months later, over 500,000 students are utilising the daily 500mb data.

With the closure of schools to mitigate further spread of COVID-19, the intervention was done in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, allowing primary and secondary school students access virtual lessons and exam prep.

The resources available cover all primary and secondary school subjects and over ten years of past questions from key examinations including the First School Leaving Certificate exams, West African Secondary School Certificate exams, Joint Admissions Matriculation Board exams, among others.

There is also access to learning portals such as Pass.ng, Roducate, mAcademy and Edo State SUBEB and more.

“Education is vital to the growth and development of any country, which is why we are committed to supporting learning. We are humbled at how well the offer has been received and hope students and parents will continue to take advantage of the opportunity to learn and shine.

“We understand the challenges everyone is going through in this period and commit to helping wherever we can,” said Rahul De, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria.

The free e-learning offer is part of MTN’s broader ‘Y’ello Hope’ initiative, a series of interventions targeted at the government, health agencies, and vulnerable communities to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
