With Spectra Home, online education is the way to go

We live in an online global village, where there are more mobile devices and sim cards than humans (O’Dea, 2020: Online). It is estimated that there are more than 6.95 billion mobile subscribers worldwide. We live in a world where literally all services and goods are available online. The way we do business has changed forever, which is primarily attributed to the internet and our smart devices. Why should we approach education differently?

Education is the backbone of any nation, especially developing nations, as it serves as an effective weapon against further social decay and poverty.

In Third World countries, it is known that various infrastructure-related challenges lead to the drop-out of students even before they reach secondary level, and once this happens, the cycle of poverty continues.

These challenges include:

•Long distances to and from school, especially at
remote villages with inaccessible terrain.
• Availability of teachers in rural areas to cater for all
learners, taking into consideration expansive geo-
graphical areas.
• Infrastructure cost to build new schools as populations
expand and additional classrooms are needed.
• Boarding schools are needed to house students living
far from schools or central villages where schools are
located.
• Education material is also not cheap and as populations
expand, central or local government needs to spend
more on yearly budgets to provide education for all
citizens.

More societies/organizations are advocating for online education that can resolve most of these challenges with a well-defined ICT backbone in rural and urban Namibia. Online education can be delivered via the worldwide web, open television channels, even via radio. In an ICT education setup, the teacher is transformed from teacher to facilitator.

MTC Spectra is an affordable and reliable tool that can enhance online education and make schooling easier and more convenient.

MTC is committed in its vision to continue with urban and rural Spectra services. We recently welcomed Hardap Plotte, Lüderitz and Okakarara to the Spectra community and other rural communities will follow suite.
Make use of these amazing packages to ensure the world of knowledge is available to your children as the new school/university year kicks off.
