As part of the partnership, Dil will provide the IT curriculum and teacher training, and Mobilink has provided the hardware and equipment.
Mobilink has sponsored a total of 10 computer systems, one printer, 20 audio headsets and 10 webcams for online lessons. This hardware was handed over to the school management by Mobilink Torchbearers during a brief ceremony, with the Torchbearers also utilising the opportunity to interact with students and emphasize the importance of IT literacy.
On the occasion, Omar Manzur, Director Public Relations and CSR Mobilink highlighted, "As Pakistan's premier cellular services provider, we are fully cognisant of the importance of IT literacy for the economic development of the country and bridging the digital divide. It is indeed an honour to provide this support for IT education at the very basic level, where it is needed the most."
