MTN South Africa’s Commitment to Education
MTN South Africa’s foundation has expanded its education support efforts significantly. The donation of digital learning devices to Qibing Secondary School marks a pivotal moment for the institution, which recently celebrated a 100% matric pass rate in 2025, the first in its 46-year history.
This initiative is designed to equip students with essential tools for digital learning and research, fostering continued academic success. It reflects MTN’s dedication to improving educational outcomes in communities that need it most.
Impact on Underserved Communities
The donation is part of MTN’s broader national education strategy. This strategy has already delivered nearly 1,200 devices to schools across South Africa and established over 400 multimedia centres. Additionally, MTN provides zero-rated learning platforms that benefit hundreds of thousands of learners.
By collaborating with district officials, local leaders, and strategic partners, MTN South Africa is actively investing in the enhancement of public education. This initiative aligns with the country’s nation-building agenda, leveraging technology to create opportunities and bridge the digital divide.
Next Steps for MTN’s Education Initiative
