MTN Zambia Chief Executive Officer Charles Molapisi has disclosed plans by the company to introduce an online tuition platform for Grade 12 pupils.
Mr. Molapisi says videos of teachers explaining various topics in different subjects will be shown live and recorded which will enable pupils to play later on Facebook.
He tells Money FM News that the platform will be an opportunity for those that cannot afford an education but have access to online platforms to learn for free.
Mr. Molapisi has noted that the initiative will not replace classes, but rather complement the efforts class of teachers.
He has added that the lessons will all be in alignment with the pupils’ classroom content.
“We are putting a platform where they’ll be able to do live revision of let’s say a previous paper for grade 12 to help and assist the young people towards examination,” says Mr. Molapisi.
“There are so many kids who don’t have access to good teachers, for instance if we pick a very good chemistry teacher, many kids in our villages don’t have access to those but they can have access to Facebook and be able to watch, he has said.
