CELCOM Axiata Bhd yesterday launched Educube, the 3-in-1 online education service where primary and secondary school students can participate in online exams.

Celcom, which has over 12 million subscribers, partnered solutions provider Orenda Sdn Bhd to provide the service.

"We are investing a significant amount of money in this service and for RM4.99 a month, we are confident that most of our customers will find this a value for money proposition," said Celcom advanced data chief operations Afizulazha Abdullah.

The service will also available for non-Celcom customers by early July, he told reporters after the launch here yesterday.

The plan is to increase the questions by 10,000 every year for all school levels while access via smart mobile phones will be available in the third quarter of this year, said Afizulazha.

The service contents are developed by a team of accredited academicians, while all assessment material is reviewed according to the country's national education syllabus.

It has also been endorsed by the National Parent Teacher Association.

Celcom is inviting schools from all around the country to participate in an online national exam and trials for UPSR, PMR and SPM before sitting for the actual national examinations.

"Through the online exams, students will be able to gauge their standing in the academic arena, in comparison with their team mates before the real exams and this increases healthy competition among them," he said.

To subscribe to the service, Celcom customers only need to send a text to Celcom, while subscribers of other telcos can buy subscription cards at selected Blue Cube and authorised dealers starting from next month.
