They will also have access to exclusive cloud solutions to share files in class.
This partnership is part of the ‘digital classroom’ project initiated by Poulsat and supported by the World Bank Group. It aims to provide more than a hundred schools with an internet connection over the next three years.
“This partnership will ensure Internet access in the least served schools in North Africa, and meet the essential connectivity needs for education, distance education, professional activities and economic development,” said Cyril Dujardin, managing director of the connectivity branch of Eutelsat.
