As part of the partnership, Samsung will bundle the Msingi pack e-learning software for lower and upper primary classes with the Galaxy Tab A 7” tablet for the benefit of teachers, parents and children who want to interact with up to date educative content and school revision material. The Msingi pack application has e-learning content in the common subject areas of Math, English, Swahili, Science and Social studies. It also includes digitized revision past papers that can be completed on the tablet with reports and scores generated for each completed paper.
Moreover, each past paper in the varying subject areas must be completed within a set amount of time thus mimicking the time constraint of the real world exam. The Msingi pack application will be provided via a specialized Micro SD card package that customers purchasing the Galaxy Tab A 7” will receive. The Msingi pack offer is available at Samsung brand stores and select Safaricom shops for customers purchasing the Galaxy Tab A 7” for a limited time.
“We are excited to partner with Samsung and it is our hope that this will go a long way in promoting awareness of the Msingi Pack platform for learners in the country. Msingi Pack aims at bringing together all stakeholders of learning by having specific relevant content for teachers, parents and students. The content is 100% local and is aligned to the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) syllabus,” said Virtual Essence General Manager Jonah Wanjohi.
