Etisalat launches a child-friendly educational product called Cliqlite to unleash e-learning in schools.
With Nigerian children under 15 years of age accounting for about 45 per cent of the country’s population,according to report, the burden on e-learning is becoming overwhelming, particularly with technology gaining continuous influence in every area of human activity.
Apart from the fact that these children do not receive early IT education, forty percent of Nigerian children aged 6-11 are not enrolled in any primary school with the Northern region recording the lowest school attendance rate in the country, particularly for girls.
But with the launch of Etisalat child-friendly educational product called Cliqlite,there are positive signals that it will serve as early intervention in children’s digital education in Nigeria.
