Paratus Eswatini enhances digital learning at Sifundzani High School

July 2026: Paratus Eswatini is facilitating improved digital learning at Sifundzani High School in Mbabane by providing high-speed, reliable connectivity via its Paratus Essential Access service. The project exemplifies Paratus Eswatini's commitment to supporting education through fast and reliable connectivity that empowers schools to derive benefit from digital learning.

Before the upgrade, the school’s 411 learners and 57 teachers had to rely on a 20 Mbps fiber-over-wireless connection that frequently suffered from interrupted access to online educational resources, with available bandwidth often prioritised for administration rather than classroom learning.

To address these challenges, Sifundzani High School upgraded to Paratus Essential Access, powered by Starlink, to deliver high-speed connectivity across the campus. The school now benefits from reliable, high-speed internet with no reported downtime, enabling teachers and learners to access a wider range of online educational resources, video-based lessons and real-time collaboration, while also improving day-to-day administration and communication.

Sipho Mlambo, IT Officer at Sifundzani High School, says: "Our internet costs have dropped dramatically, while speed and reliability have transformed teaching and administration."

Managing Director of Paratus Eswatini, Ali Resting says: "Reliable internet is now an essential component of modern education. We're delighted that Sifundzani High School is now enjoying dependable connectivity. At Paratus Eswatini, we're proud to support schools as they prepare our young people for the future."

With reliable connectivity now in place, the school plans to further strengthen its digital learning environment through the introduction of interactive smart boards and additional online teaching resources. “The sky’s the limit”, adds Sipho Mlambo, “now that we have reliable connectivity from Paratus Essential Access.”
