FLOW creates packages for students and teachers

Telecommunications firm FLOW has extended its collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information and launched a suite of mobile plans and fixed offers in continued support of education and measures to keep Jamaicans connected and safe.

The data packages are aimed at supporting online learning, which has been the main platform for teaching and learning due to the closure of schools due tO the COVID-19 pandemic.

"These plans are specifically designed to provide even more affordable options for students and teachers to access the various critical online learning platforms required during this time," said Stephen Price, FLOW's country manager.

The suite of mobile offerings includes a 14-day plan, which costs $500, and is designed for students at the primary- and secondary-school levels.

Additionally, teachers and tertiary-level students get discounts of up to 20 per cent on existing plans.

"Education is a right, and we have taken the necessary steps with our FLOW Study platform, our virtual classroom partnership, and now, these plans to provide access to the tools necessary for continuing studies. We've also rolled out more affordable fixed-connectivity options to support our teachers and tertiary students," Price said.
