Description

The primary purpose of CTL is to increase access to secondary school – especially for girls – through scholarships, as well as improving the quality of education through life skills programs and integration of technology tools and digital learning resources in schools. Ericsson provides mobile broadband and cloud-based infrastructure, CSD provides exposure to cutting-edge research on education, and MP helps operationalize this research in under-resourced schools and their communities. To date, Connect To Learn has benefitted more than 120,000 students in 25 countries around the world. As mobile broadband becomes even more ubiquitous, reaching out to the most remote regions of the world, it offers unparalleled opportunities to transform education. ICT has the power to raise the quality of education by increasing the efficiency of education systems, innovating pedagogical practices, expanding learning and teacher professional development opportunities beyond the limits of schools, and building students’ 21st century skills.
