Using the ‘Cellcard Free Data Distance Education Program’ all students and teachers using Cellcard connections in the Kingdom of Cambodia can enjoy hassle- and cost-free access to the Distance Education App every day between 6.00AM to 11.00AM.

The Distance Education Application, launched today (15th July 2020) by MoEYS and MPTC will provide essential digital and distance education to Cambodian students. Under the agreement, Cellcard will be providing free data access to the new ‘Distance Education App’ which has been jointly developed by the MoEYS and MPTC in a bid to maintain education standards during forced school closures in the Kingdom of Cambodia due to COVID-19.
