MTN South Sudan Removes Data Costs for National E-Learning Platform
The launch marks an important step toward improving educational opportunities through technology and increasing access to online learning resources for students and teachers across the country.
MTN South Sudan has participated in the official launch of the Zero-Rated Junub Academy National E-Learning Platform, an initiative aimed at expanding access to quality digital education across South Sudan. The launch marks an important step toward improving educational opportunities through technology and increasing access to online learning resources for students and teachers across the country.
As part of the initiative, MTN South Sudan has zero-rated the platform, allowing users to access educational content without incurring mobile data charges. This means that students and educators can use the platform free of data costs, reducing financial barriers that often limit access to digital learning resources.
The initiative is intended to help bridge the digital divide by making educational materials more accessible, particularly to learners who may have limited internet affordability. By supporting free access to online educational content, the company aims to empower teachers, enhance learning opportunities, and equip students with the digital skills needed for the future.
The launch of the Junub Academy National E-Learning Platform also reflects a broader commitment to inclusive education, innovation, and national development. Through partnerships and technological solutions, stakeholders hope to use digital platforms to improve education outcomes and contribute to the long-term social and economic development of South Sudan.
MTN South Sudan stated that the initiative demonstrates the role of technology in supporting education and creating opportunities for learners and educators across the country, while reinforcing the importance of digital inclusion in national development efforts.
