We have taken this unique situation as an opportunity to teach children through various mediums of distance learning. “Taking mammoth steps in advancing the education sector, Dialog Axiata has facilitated the Sri Lankan government in its vision of instilling distance learning in the country. As a result of this global pandemic, the education sector was adversely affected, prompting countries to find quick solutions,” Dullas Alahapperuma, Minister of Education Sports and Youth Affairs said. “Today, we bear witness to the turning point of the Sri Lankan education system. With a long-term vision of facilitating schools with distance learning, this initiative aims to promote equitable access to education whilst continuing to enable the learning continuity of students from the safety of their homes. Initiated among 100 schools, this distance learning solution will be further extended to 1000 schools across the county in order to support the ongoing COVID-19 impact mitigation efforts. In total, schools can seamlessly conduct individual sessions to students who are connected through the 1377 hotline along with the others who are connected via the internet.
This solution can sustain up to 48 students joining via the 1377 hotline, whilst parallelly enabling 100 students to connect through the web portal for the same session. Students who have internet access can join by logging into the web portal via a smartphone or a laptop, whereas others can tune into the respective session(s) conducted by their school teachers via a feature phone or a landline by dialing the toll-free Nenasa 1377 hotline from any network. This inclusive solution for distance learning will deliver education to students from schools island-wide, via classroom conference sessions, allowing students and teachers to connect through any device and any network at no cost. Contrary to most of the online teaching solutions practiced by schools due to the COVID-19 crisis, this distance learning solution is freely accessible across any network and does not require students to have internet access to sit-in on lessons, thereby ensuring that no child is left behind. This is an extension of the Nenasa 1377 distance learning initiative launched in March 2020. June 08, Colombo: Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider, together with Huawei and Simsyn, has further extended its support for the education sector by way of teleconference solutions for schools across the country, selected by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
