School Locator
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented stifling challenges to education, as school shutdowns have expedited the need for digitization and reliable internet access for all students. In response, School Locator has been designed to assess and extend school connectivity.
The platform includes an interactive map to visualize schools and click for information on name, owner, number of students, connectivity type, internet speeds, and more. Schools can be filtered by these characteristics. A built-in statistics dashboard displays KPIs for measuring and comparing school connectivity by region. The interface has been designed to make school data more accessible to government stakeholders and support efforts to improve quality of service and coverage.
