Banglalink is supporting Teach it to launch live classes as part of its efforts to develop the startup ecosystem in the country. The initiative also aims at facilitating remote learning of students affected by Covid-19 outbreak.
Teach it is one of the participants of IT Incubator, a digital entrepreneurship programme run by Banglalink and Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority (a wing of the ICT Division of the government), said a press release.
Conducted by qualified teachers, the online live classes will be broadcast from Sunday to Thursday every week on the Facebook page of Teach it (https://www.facebook.com/teachitonline/).
Starting from June 21, the classes will run from 6pm to 9:30pm on each of the mentioned days.
Along with following the classes online, the students can engage themselves with the sessions by asking questions and working on the assignments suggested by the teachers.
All the recorded versions of the online classes will be available on the digital platforms of Banglalink Toffee and Teach it afterwards. Banglalink users can browse the content free of charge at www.teachit.online, said the release.
