Malaysia, Sabah – 11 December 2024 – Jetpac, a global tech company committed to digital transformation in the telecommunications industry, announces the transformative impact of its connectivity initiative on ALC Kinarut School in Sabah, Malaysia. Through a partnership with unconnected.org's Adopt a School program, Jetpac has provided essential data access to students, empowering them to learn and connect in previously unimaginable ways.

Empowering Education Through Connectivity

Prior to Jetpac's intervention, ALC Kinarut School faced significant challenges in accessing reliable internet. This limited teachers' ability to utilize innovative methods and restricted students' exposure to diverse learning opportunities.

However, the introduction of satellite internet has sparked a digital revolution at the school. Teacher Anne, a key figure in this transformation, emphasizes the profound impact of internet access on her teaching: "The internet allows me to incorporate engaging multimedia resources into lessons, making learning more fun and effective for students. Additionally, they can now download textbooks and research topics independently, fostering self-directed learning and critical thinking skills."

The internet's importance extends beyond the classroom. Val, the baking instructor, utilizes online resources to expand her knowledge and share new recipes and techniques with students. Sia, the sewing instructor, has found innovative ways to integrate technology into her lessons through platforms like YouTube, facilitating the learning of complex skills. The Internet has also fostered collaboration within the school, allowing students to share ideas and work together on projects.

Beyond the Classroom Walls

Students at ALC Kinarut School are equally enthusiastic about the benefits of internet connectivity. One student shared, “We love using the internet to watch soccer videos. We learn new tricks and strategies from professional players, and then we practice them together on the field.”

Another student highlighted the role of the internet in fostering creativity and collaboration: “We use the Internet to find inspiration for our art projects. We look at different styles and techniques, and then we create our own unique pieces. We also share our work with other students online, and we get feedback and encouragement from each other.”
