Ministry of Education, Maldives partners with Finetech Consultancy to implement Google’s Future Classroom

Further cementing its position as Google’s largest and only Premier Partner in the South East Asian region, Finetech Consultancy (Pvt) Ltd (FCPL), recently ventured into the Education Sector in the Maldives with a key initiative.

The Education Ministry of the Maldives chose FCPL as its partner to onboard Google Workspace Education Plus as it embarks on digitising the education system in the Maldives. The partnership agreement was penned between FCPL’s Founder and Director/CEO Clehan Pulle and Naushad Ibrahim - Senior Policy Director on behalf of the Maldivian Ministry of Education, the company said in a media release.

“During the recent pandemic the entire world had to adapt itself to online education and it has brought about significant change in the idea of school itself. For countries like Sri Lanka and the Maldives that have such high literacy rates in the region the transition is of vital importance to keep students focused and continue the standards. We are indeed happy to be contributing to the Maldivian Education Ministry’s efforts to digitise their education system and provide better access to education for their children”, said Mr. Pulle.

Google for Education provides open technologies to improve learning for anyone anywhere. Education in fact is one of Google’s core values as it strives to ‘organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful’. Google also believes in teaching cutting-edge technologies to equip future generations with the skills they need to thrive in the workforce of today and tomorrow. 

The proposed “Future Classroom” model aims to transform how lessons are taught by improving communication between the teacher and student, and even the parent and school administrations. It also provides teachers with innovative ways of keeping their classes engaged while giving students a platform to actively contribute towards how and what they want to learn. Google’s tools are not only easy to use but are most importantly free, customisable, and compatible with any device and devoid of ads.
