Project Details


WSIS Prizes Contest 2023 Nominee

Teacher SMS


Description

The aim of the project was to provide bulk-free mobile phone SMS for pupils in Tanzania for selected primary school subjects. This enabled the pupils to be able to contact their teachers when any further explanation or clarification related to a subject matter was needed. Especially rural remote schools and pupils benefited from this project. The project has thus contributed to greater inclusiveness and accessibility of information.
