Iran-Made Platform Helps Educational Justice in Less Privileged Areas
With the aim of creating easy, permanent and universal access to academic and specialized knowledge, the company was able to launch a platform as the largest online education platform in Iran.
The knowledge-based company, with the cooperation of more than 100 human resources and over 2,500 professors and faculty members, aims to establish educational justice, by preparing 30,000 hours of video training in various scientific and practical subjects like statistics and data mining. It has also published contents on artificial intelligence, programming, art, engineering sciences and other university courses.
“This platform operates in the field of online education and has provided over 10,000 educational titles to more than three million students which have been produced in 290 specialized fields in cooperation with 2,600 instructors,” said Fatemeh Rezazadeh, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
In a relevant development in November, an Iranian pharmacist had also founded a new drug distribution platform which aims to settle the problems of the pharmaceutical industry and increase access to pharmacies in underprivileged areas.
“The main problem of pharmaceutical companies is their dependence on manpower and visitors to distribute their products, which limits access to cities and remote areas and hinders their market development,” Ali Boroumandi told ANA.
“We have investigated the wholesale sale of drugs. Due to the large number of pharmacies, our bargaining advantage with the manufacturers is high and it allows us to get the medicine from the manufacturers at a better price and supply them to the pharmacies,” he added.
“For instance, a company did not have a representative or visiting force in Kerman, but with the digital coverage we have provided throughout the country, we were able to introduce the product to Kerman and develop its market,” Boroumandi said.
