Paratus has made an impact in Namibia’s education sector through its ongoing partnership with Eduvision, now in its seventh year.
By providing GEO satellite infrastructure and continuous technical support, Paratus has enabled real-time, interactive digital learning for more than 12 000 learners and 471 teachers across the country. The initiative has connected even the most remote schools to essential educational resources, helping bridge the digital divide in rural areas.
“Paratus EduLINK is not just about connectivity; it’s about creating equal access to education. We’re proud to bridge the digital divide for thousands of learners who deserve the same opportunities as anyone else, no matter how remote their location,” said Barney Harmse, executive chairman of Paratus Group.
Yesterday, Paratus announced the launch of Paratus EduLINK: a transformative connectivity solution designed to empower schools in underserved and remote regions with fast, reliable internet.
With the campaign message, “Empowering Education, Anywhere”, Paratus EduLINK leverages Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology to ensure no school is too remote and no learner is left behind.
The EduLINK package delivers high-speed internet to qualifying schools in Botswana, Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Rwanda and Zambia, offering 2TB of priority data per month, followed by a generous data buffer, to support seamless online learning and digital resource access. “Starlink’s advanced satellite constellation enables true broadband performance, delivering high bandwidth, low latency and resilience even in areas lacking traditional infrastructure. With Paratus EduLINK, schools can unlock online learning, teacher development, digital exams and collaborative projects, fostering educational progress and inclusion,” he said.
