TECNO, a leading tech brand, has partnered with UNICEF to enhance the Nigeria Learning Passport, a digital learning platform aimed at improving education for children in Nigeria. Launched by the Federal Ministry of Education and UNICEF in 2022, this program offers curriculum-aligned materials in local languages, accessible both online and offline. With around 888,000 users across 19 states, it ranks second among participating countries.
The partnership will bolster content development, technical equipment, and professional training for educators. UNICEF plans to provide offline content for 50,000 children in remote areas by 2024, aiming to reduce the education gap. UNICEF’s Cristian Munduate emphasized the collaboration’s role in making quality education accessible to underserved children, while TECNO’s Jack Guo highlighted the initiative’s potential to drive economic growth and social progress in Africa.
Globally, the Learning Passport has expanded to 38 countries with over 6 million users. Recognized as one of the 50 Most Influential Projects by The Project Management Institute in 2020 and one of TIME’s 100 best inventions in 2021, the program continues to make significant strides in digital education.
TECNO, part of Transsion Holdings, operates in over 70 countries, offering innovative digital products that integrate contemporary design with advanced technology.
