For the first time, learners across Tanzania can access Secondary School Educational content for free through Internet.org for Tigo customers. Innovation is empowering students to learn, revise and discuss, anytime and anywhere at www.shuledirect.co.tz

Shule Direct has developed Tanzania’s first free digital learning platform that offers learners and teachers quality local educational content based on the National Syllabus.

Learners have full access to study notes, revision questions and moderated discussions with peers and teachers. Shule Direct creates this content with qualified education experts to provide up to date, independent and flexible learning. The partnership between Shule Direct and Internet.Org is a step towards leveraging technology to enable all learners access quality education.

Internet.org is a Facebook-led initiative with the goal of making affordable
Internet access available to the two thirds of the world who are not yet connected and to bring the same opportunities to everyone that the connected third of the world has today.




Facebook's Internet.org app makes the Internet more accessible through a set of free basic services - enabling people to browse useful content and websites such as Shule Direct without incurring data charges, making the benefits of the Internet more accessible and affordable to more people around the world.

Internet.org is currently available in Tanzania to Tigo customers.
