NCC launches zero-rated education scheme for five million students
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has launched a zero-rated education initiative that will provide about five million Nigerian students with 100 MB of data daily to access approved educational platforms, effective 1 October.
The initiative, known as the Zero-Rated Access to Educational Platforms and Content Initiative, is targeted initially at students in public senior secondary schools and public tertiary institutions.
The initiative was championed by the Chairman of the NCC Board, Idris Olorunnimbe, who earlier this year advocated zero-rated access to educational platforms as part of efforts to expand digital learning opportunities.
