Business community urged to back digital access in education

MTN SA CEO Charles Molapisi has appealed to business leaders and firms across SA to donate wide-ranging digital devices to underprivileged learners.Named Connecting Every Child, the MTN-headed initiative looks to provide 30 000 digital devices to learners in some of SA’s most under-resourced and remote schools.The initiative is undertaken in collaboration with the Department of Basic Education, and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies.

“We must take the necessary steps to mitigate the challenge faced by millions of South African learners. Underprivileged learners are deprived of the tools they need to succeed in today’s digital world,” says Molapisi. “Hisense South Africa is pleased to partner with MTN and be among the first to contribute to this important initiative,” says Jocelyn Willies, head of marketing, Hisense SA. “We view technology as a key driver of educational advancement and are committed to bridging the digital divide.”
