Verizon enables distance learning for up to 150,000 South Carolina students
COLUMBIA, S.C., Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS) has partnered with Verizon to enable distance learning, for up to 150,000 K-12 students through discounted Internet access for students who have no Internet connectivity at home.
南卡羅來納州哥倫比亞，2020年8月3日(環球通訊社)--南卡羅來納州監管人員辦公室(ORS)與Verizon合作，通過為家裏沒有互聯網連接的學生提供折扣互聯網接入，為多達15萬名K-12學生提供遠程學習。
The South Carolina ORS’ disbursement of CARES Act funding for this distance learning initiative, part of South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s AccelerateSC plan, is designed to help enable students who don’t have broadband at home to continue their education inside or outside of the classroom through 4G LTE Internet service and devices.
南卡羅來納州ORS為這項遠程學習計劃支付CARE法案資金，這是南卡羅來納州州長亨利·麥克馬斯特(Henry McMaster)AccelerateSC計劃的一部分，旨在幫助家裏沒有寬帶的學生通過4G LTE互聯網服務和設備在教室內外繼續學習。
AccelerateSC is a coordinated economic revitalization plan involving small and large business owners, leaders in manufacturing, healthcare professionals, educators, and local government officials. AccelerateSC collaborated with state agencies to develop guidelines for the safe operation of businesses in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and to develop priorities for the responsible investment of CARES Act funding.
AccelerateSC是一項協調一致的經濟振興計劃，涉及大小企業主、製造業領導人、醫療保健專業人員、教育工作者和當地政府官員。AccelerateSC與各州機構合作，為企業在冠狀病毒大流行中的安全運營制定指導方針，併為負責任的CARE法案資金投資制定優先事項。
“As AccelerateSC began its work, we immediately recognized that one of our most pressing needs was getting Internet access to those families and students who were most dramatically impacted by school closures,” said South Carolina Gov. McMaster. “This partnership with Verizon will result in a stronger education delivery system for students in rural areas and is a great example of what we can do when we have a common goal and a commitment to innovation and collaboration.”
南卡羅來納州州長麥克馬斯特説：“當AccelerateSC開始工作時，我們立即認識到，我們最緊迫的需求之一是讓那些受學校關閉影響最大的家庭和學生接入互聯網。”與Verizon的合作將為農村地區的學生帶來更強大的教育交付系統，這是一個很好的例子，表明當我們有共同的目標並致力於創新和合作時，我們可以做些什麼。“
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an immediate surge in distance learning and has drawn new focus to enabling reliable Internet access for all students. While some school districts were more prepared to shift from onsite to online classrooms, many others are still challenged with securing Internet connectivity, devices and related solutions for distance learning.
新冠肺炎的流行立即引起了遠程學習的激增，並吸引了新的焦點，使所有學生都能可靠地接入互聯網。雖然一些學區已經做好了從現場教室轉向在線教室的準備，但其他許多學區仍面臨確保遠程學習的互聯網連接、設備和相關解決方案安全的挑戰。
“With the 2020-21 school year just around the corner, it’s critical that all students have access to a reliable Internet connection, devices and other solutions they need be able to continue learning this fall -- whether from school or home,” said Andrés Irlando, senior vice president and president Public Sector and Verizon Connect at Verizon. “Now up to 150,000 K-12 students across South Carolina will have access to the Internet through this program.”
Verizon高級副總裁兼公共部門和Verizon Connect總裁安德烈斯·伊蘭多(Andrés Irlando)表示：“2020-21學年即將到來，關鍵是讓所有學生都能獲得可靠的互聯網連接、設備和其他他們需要的解決方案，以便能夠在今年秋天繼續學習--無論是在學校還是在家裏，”Verizon高級副總裁兼公共部門和Verizon Connect總裁安德烈斯·伊蘭多(Andrés Irlando)説。“現在，南卡羅來納州多達15萬名K-12年級的學生將通過這項計劃接入互聯網。”
