Smart partners with UNESCO and Ministry of Education for the National Literacy Campaign 2015

Smart is delighted to offer its support and sponsorship to UNESCO and Ministry of Education. The common aim of the National Literacy Campaign 2015 – the biggest ever of such campaign conducted to date – is to encourage illiterate people to learn reading and writing and especially to conduct reading and writing classes for nearly hundred thousand people nationwide.

Smart’s CEO Thomas Hundt said “Without being able to read and write, I would not be able to run a company like Smart. Neither would my colleagues be able to work for Smart. Everyone should be given the opportunity to use his full potential, being able to read and write is essential for doing so.”. He went on “If we can encourage more people out of the millions of illiterate people of Cambodia to learn reading and writing, those could contribute much more to the country’s growth and development but would also give those people a much brighter personal future ahead!”

Smart will be the Telco partner of UNESCO and Ministry of Education for this campaign, providing general assistance, support and financial resources to promote the campaign, to enable the potential students to register for the classes and to render the Telco needs during the course of the campaign.

Smart strongly believes that when more people have the ability to read and write, the digital economy powered by the fast mobile internet of Smart nationwide over its 3G and 4G LTE networks will accelerate substantially for the greater good of the society.
