Digital Schools Programme to serve UNICEF education centres

AMMAN — Orange Jordan has partnered with UNICEF, the Orange Foundation and its e-learning programme vendor, e-Learment to launch its Digital Schools Programme in Jordan, which will deliver free educational content in digital format to several UNICEF-operated education centres in the Kingdom, an Orange Jordan statement said Saturday.

The programme designed low-cost servers that housed the regularly updated educational content, which can be accessed remotely via WiFi connection and a web browser.

In Jordan, the programme will deliver digital school kits to five educational centres operated by UNICEF Jordan as part of its Makani (My Space) initiative, which aims to reach 90,000 boys and girls in Jordan who are excluded from any form of education and exposed to child labour.
