SIXUNITED joins forces with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to jointly promote sustainable education development in Africa and the Arab region.


Education is the cornerstone of the inheritance and development of human civilization, and the innovation of digital technologies provides crucial support for the balanced development of global education. In the context of deepening globalization, bridging the digital divide and promoting equitable access to educational resources have become important practical directions for putting the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind into practice. SIXUNITED has always adhered to the development philosophy of “technology for good,” deeply integrating corporate social responsibility into its strategic development. We firmly believe that a company’s long-term growth is inseparable from the realization of social value. Recently, SIXUNITED reached a strategic collaboration with “Millennium@EDU” (a special initiative on digital education and sustainable education), actively supporting the construction of interconnectedness and the digital transformation of the education sector in Africa and the Arab region, thereby fulfilling our corporate social responsibility and embracing our responsibilities to the times through concrete actions.

 

With a shared vision, let’s jointly fulfill our commitment to equitable education.

As a key player in the field of smart education solutions within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), SIXUNITED has always regarded “using technology to promote universal and equitable access to educational resources” as one of its core corporate missions. For a long time, the company has been focusing on the research and development of digital devices and solutions tailored to various educational settings, striving to narrow the gap in educational resources across different regions. The "Promoting Universal Connectivity and Digital Transformation in Education" initiative launched by Millennium@EDU has as its core objective to support educational development in regions with relatively scarce resources through measures such as strengthening education systems and establishing comprehensive ICT education master plans—goals that closely align with SIXUNITED's corporate mission. Based on this alignment, SIXUNITED has officially joined the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition led by this organization. Leveraging its own technological expertise and product experience, SIXUNITED will provide hardware and technical support for the coalition’s efforts in optimizing education systems and building ICT education frameworks, working together to advance the realization of the goal of educational equity.

 

The Partner2Connect (P2C) Digital Alliance is a global digital cooperation initiative launched by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) with the support of the UN Secretary-General. Millennium@EDU Sustainable Education (Millennium@EDU), meanwhile, is a specialized digital education program that the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is actively promoting within the Partner2Connect framework. It focuses on “educational equity + digital skills + sustainable development.”

 

Lay a solid foundation for digital education with technology products.

The implementation of education digitalization requires hardware tailored to specific scenarios as its carrier. SIXUNITED's educational products, designed to meet the core needs of teaching, have established a hardware support system that covers diverse scenarios.

Education Notebook

Focusing on the core security needs of educational settings, SIXUNITED’s xN21-140P-DN and xN11-116PC2-HS education laptops feature an IP54-rated dust- and water-resistant design and have passed drop tests on wooden floors, enabling them to confidently handle unexpected scenarios in classroom teaching and daily learning. Specifically designed for children’s usage patterns, the keycaps adopt a four-corner fixation design, eliminating at the source potential safety hazards such as keycap detachment, accidental ingestion, or disposal. The keyboard structure supports quick disassembly, simplifying daily cleaning procedures while allowing for rapid repair and replacement in case of malfunctions, significantly reducing campus operation and maintenance costs. The xN21-140P-DN is equipped with a 200CC professional-grade spill-resistant keyboard, easily handling scenarios such as tipped-over water cups or accidental splashes in the classroom, effectively preventing equipment short circuits and ensuring uninterrupted teaching continuity. Upholding the concept of green education, SIXUNITED uses PCR eco-friendly materials for the laptop’s outer casing, reducing harmful gas emissions from the source and safeguarding the health of teachers and students. Additionally, the laptops are powered by long-life battery technology, extending the device’s lifespan and minimizing electronic waste generation. By meeting the essential needs of teaching and learning, these laptops help educational institutions build a sustainable, green campus ecosystem.


 

Educational tablet

The tablet product lineup further addresses diversified user needs and closely aligns with the entire teaching process. The xP36-101P-XCL education tablet is equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, supports a detachable keyboard and stylus, and is ideal for both teachers to annotate and explain in class and for students to complete electronic assignments. Its 70-cm drop resistance can withstand accidental bumps and impacts during daily student use. The M8781-T30J-122MA features a 12.2-inch Incell touchscreen paired with an active stylus, a 9,000 mAh battery (with a battery life of approximately 5.5 hours), 8 GB of RAM plus 256 GB of expandable storage, and a 13-megapixel rear camera, perfectly meeting the needs of lesson presentation, handwritten annotations, and collection of teaching materials. The M8781-T30J-127MK comes with a built-in 10,000 mAh long-lasting battery and supports storage expansion, making it well-suited for extended classroom instruction and multi-content storage. The M8781-T30J-132HG boasts 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage, perfectly tailored for long-term teaching scenarios that require large-capacity management of educational resources.

 

Leveraging collaborative efforts to deeply cultivate long-term transformation in regional education.

After joining the Partner2Connect digital alliance led by Millennium@EDU, SIXUNITED will leverage its technological expertise in smart terminals and educational solutions to actively participate in the implementation of the alliance’s comprehensive ICT education master plan. We will provide support across five key dimensions—vision, infrastructure, training, content, and management—to help partner countries build a long-term, sustainable digital education ecosystem. In the joint implementation and follow-up phases, SIXUNITED’s educational products will serve as the hardware platform for realizing the ICT education master plan. At the same time, in alignment with the alliance’s “Continuity Plan,” we will ensure a stable supply of equipment and provide basic operational and maintenance support in emergency situations. This approach not only addresses the short-term impact of educational disruptions but also provides long-term assistance in building digital infrastructure for local education systems, gradually narrowing the regional digital education gap. Through this deeply collaborative model, SIXUNITED will help local education systems cultivate intrinsic momentum for digital transformation and drive their sustainable development.

 

The realization of corporate value is not only reflected in economic contributions but, more importantly, in proactively fulfilling social responsibilities and contributing to societal development. Since its establishment, SIXUNITED has consistently integrated its own development into the broader global context, actively engaging in various public welfare initiatives and demonstrating corporate responsibility through concrete actions. This latest effort to support the digital transformation of education in Africa and the Arab region is a significant step taken by SIXUNITED to put into practice the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind and fulfill its social responsibilities. It also serves as a vivid example of Chinese enterprises participating in global public welfare cooperation and contributing Chinese wisdom and strength. Looking ahead, SIXUNITED will continue to uphold a responsibility-oriented approach, leveraging technological innovation as its foundation and strategic collaboration as its bond, and actively engage in cross-regional public welfare cooperation. On the path toward promoting global digital inclusion and fostering balanced educational development, SIXUNITED will remain steadfastly committed to moving forward hand in hand with partners from around the world, building a global education ecosystem that is equitable, inclusive, and sustainably developed, and writing a new chapter in the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
