700 Android phones were distributed to all of the TCF network’s schools, aiding in the rollout of the blended learning program.
The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is implementing technology enabled learning across 1,800 TCF schools, and Jazz, Pakistan’s top digital operator and a member of the VEON Group, is digitally enabling TCF to do so. This will ensure that more than 250,000 students across the country have access to advanced learning opportunities.
23 computer labs have already undergone renovations as part of this initiative, and all TCF schools now have a school management app that provides efficient, transparent, and accurate data collection and management for all students, faculty, and non-faculty staff.
While the computer curriculum under the DLP (Digital Literacy Program) for grades 6–8 is specifically created to equip students with digital-age skills, the blended learning solution for primary students is an innovative approach that combines online and offline education to provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience.
The digitization project also made it possible to translate textbooks and educational resources for grades 6 and 7 into Urdu, resulting in the creation of a bilingual curriculum and a scripted bilingual lesson plan.
Additionally, 700 Android phones were distributed to all of the TCF network’s schools, aiding in the rollout of the blended learning program.
Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim commented on the project, saying, “We are proud to have collaborated with TCF on this significant initiative to digitize schools and give students access to the most cutting-edge technology.
Jazz continues to pool its resources and expertise in order to develop long-term, sustainable solutions and partnerships that benefit both individuals and the larger community. Jazz is motivated by the desire to digitally empower youth and to help the government of Pakistan realize its vision for Digital Pakistan.
Additionally, a significant component of the grant is the female teacher training program, which will digitally empower women to assume more leadership roles and improve their performance. This has been a major area of focus for Jazz in its efforts to create a more integrated and equitable society.
This partnership with TCF is another significant step in Jazz’s history of leading youth and women’s empowerment initiatives. Jazz satisfies the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 10 (Reduced Inequalities) through this initiative.
Technology-enabled learning refers to the application of systems, platforms, and digital content to further and improve student-centered learning. The consideration of pedagogical principles precedes the design of TEL environments.
