Thanks to the renewed partnership between Astria Learning, the
world’s fastest growing elearning solutions provider and Zambia’s
leading Telecommunications Company, MTN Zambia (MTNZ), a much
larger percentage of Zambia’s economically challenged young adults
will be able to obtain a college level education online. Astria
Learning has created an online learning management system that is
accessible by students through partner institutions, including
colleges and universities; with MTNZ now offering these same
students free Internet access to complete their online studies,
more students than ever before have the opportunity to expand their
education and positively impact their future.
The Future of Education is Accessed Online
Currently supporting more than 500,000 online students in nine
different countries, Astria Learning is the world’s fastest-growing
educational company; their e-learning solutions have been designed
with students in mind, providing guidance beyond simple academic
instruction. Astria Learning’s solutions can be custom-tailored to
specific needs, as the mindsets, behavior patterns and overall
goals of different types of students have already been considered
during development of these solutions. The majority of Zambia’s
institutes of higher learning, including colleges and universities,
already incorporate Astria Learning’s learning management system
into their distance learning courses. Utilizing this holistic
approach gives students a far greater likelihood of long-term
success in obtaining their degree-oriented goals, regardless of
their geographical location or infrastructural limitations.
Free Internet Access Makes Online Learning Possible
With 48 percent market share, MTNZ is a trusted company that is
renowned for its affordable competitive pricing systems and
high-quality network. MTNZ is committed to uplifting the lives of
the people in communities in which it operates, as demonstrated
through their partnership with Astria Learning. Due to the cost of
Internet access which is prohibitive for many students and their
families, MTNZ has offered to provide sponsorship for the costs of
Internet access to the Astria Learning site, allowing students
completely free online access to Astria Learning’s online
e-learning solution system.
A Partnership with Lasting Impact
Astria Learning’s and MTNZ’s partnership provides a foundation
for lasting impact in the lives of countless numbers of
economically challenged youth and young adults in Zambia. No longer
limited by social or economic status, the online education these
serviced students will be able to obtain is likely to improve the
well-being of entire villages, leading toward the betterment of
lives of extended family members in their communities. Never before
have students in such remote locations within Zambia’s 10 regions
had access to such high-quality college level educational material,
all at no cost. This is a remarkable move that will hopefully
inspire other similar partnerships around the globe, all in service
to the goal of providing everyone who has the desire the
opportunity to expand his or her educational opportunities.
