Under this program, Save The People International, in partnership with the Institute of Business Management (IoBM), will develop appropriate ways for educating underprivileged groups and children who live under difficult circumstances. One approach is to employ technology to deliver education remotely to attain this goal. We believe if the technology is used appropriately, it can provide access to education to children who might otherwise be deprived of it. One persistent challenge of using technology in remote, low-income communities worldwide is that most products, services, usage models, expertise, and research related to technologies used in remote education come from high-income contexts and environments.
In remote communities where teachers face significant challenges such as isolation from peers and limited resources, mobile phones can provide meaningful support. These devices give teachers access to valuable educational content and continuous guidance on how to use it effectively, even when physical resources like textbooks are scarce. By using mobile phones, teachers can bridge the gap in materials and stay connected to new teaching methods.
Moreover, mobile phones can benefit students by delivering short quizzes via SMS. These quizzes help students and their families assess their understanding of topics covered in class, promoting better engagement with the material and encouraging active participation in their education from home.
The programme will provide opportunities and access to learning anytime/anywhere, expanding the availability of courses to all students regardless of location, fostering additional faculty and student engagement, enabling personalized learning, and making online education more accessible to students in remote areas.
