Nokia and Unesco Pakistan are proud to launch a basic literacy application named eTaleem for Nokia phones, which allows people to easily access lessons for Urdu reading, phonetics, word synthesis, sentence making, and basic math.
eTaleem app has been developed by Lakson Business Solutions for Nokia as a component to the Unesco Project "Mobile Literacy training for Literacy Training of Rural Female Adults". The application can be downloaded on most affordable Nokia S40 devices.
The learning content to Nokia's eTaleem app is based on Unesco's learning DVDs designed and tested in community learning centres all over Pakistan. By enabling access to the high quality educational material via affordable mobile phones, Nokia broadens the reach of the Unesco trainings to rural areas, supporting continued learning after the community classes' attendance comes to an end. Presently, 2500 adult female learners in rural districts of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are using the eTaleem application as part of their six months literacy training.-PR
