EducationJazz facilitates Namal Institute with an innovative learning solution

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Jazz, Pakistan’s number one 4G operator and the largest internet and broadband service provider facilitated Namal Institute during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown in teaching students without access to the internet or a smart device.

The product, ‘Business Line’, introduced by Jazz Business, the country’s largest digital and ICT solutions provider, gave students access to pre-recorded lectures on a free-of-cost mobile number.

Using this feature of Business Line, the institute’s professors record their lectures over the phone and share them with the students via a mobile number. The students then call the number and listen to the lecture.

“The remote learning solution we offer demonstrated our commitment to quality education in terms of content and interactive digital tools. During the lockdown, it was clear that we had to combine technology and education to ensure that our learning outcomes are not negatively impacted, especially for students from underserved regions”,” said Syed Ali Naseer, Chief Business Officer at Jazz.
