Ecobank signs Strategic Partnership with Google on e-Learning

Ecobank Group is leveraging its distribution and partner networks to raise awareness of literacy apps in the Google Play Store to support the education of children who are at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a statement, the bank is committed to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of its customers across Africa.

It stated that with social distancing being enforced and schools closed, parents are looking for ways to help children keep up with their learning and homework.

“Ecobank is helping to raise awareness of locally relevant, globally applicable and accredited literacy and learning apps that support parents’ efforts to educate their children at home.

“The apps are free on the Google Play Store, with specific apps available in local languages.”

Head, Group Consumer Banking, Ecobank, Nana Abban, said: “We believe that children are Africa’s future. At this unprecedented time, it is more important than ever that parents use technology to help their children continue to learn and improve their knowledge.

She further added that, “Ecobank is committed to closing the literacy and digital skills gap in Africa, and therefore ensuring that the education of Africa’s future generation of leaders does not suffer as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“Countries across Africa have historically had limited access to educational platforms. We are leveraging on our distribution network to make access to education as easy as the tap of an app, keeping children educated and enlightened at the same time, whilst also keeping them safe online”.
