Dialog Enterprise, an integrated business division of Dialog Telekom PLC, breaks new ground by providing Internet connectivity to 350 schools across the country using 4th generation Wimax technology.
Under this 90-day project which commences shortly, schools in far off locations such as Medawachchiya, Poonduluoya and Sewanagala will enjoy Internet connectivity and bring them on par with the benefits reaped by their urban counterparts. The 350 schools, whose primary medium of instruction are Sinhala and Tamil, are spread across all districts of the country, excepting the North.
This is under an ADB funded Secondary Education Modernization Project II (SEMP) of the Ministry of Education. |
