These sponsors have partnered with Progresif in supporting the "Adopt a School" initiative through Progresif’s Phase 2 of the Donate Data campaign. They have generously sponsored a year-long Wi-Fi Connectivity service provided by Progresif Sdn Bhd to all five schools: Pusat Tingkatan Enam Tutong, Secondary School Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam, Secondary School PAP Rashidah Lumut, Secondary School Rimba and Secondary School Menglait.
This strategic partnership is aimed at supporting and facilitating Wi-Fi Connectivity, focusing on elevating digital infrastructure and connectivity capabilities. All sponsors share a common goal: to utilize their resources and expertise to make a positive impact and contribute to the development of a digitally inclusive society.

Digital implementation in schools is vital for creating a modern, efficient, and inclusive educational environment that prepares students for the demands of the future. The internet offers access to a vast amount of information and educational resources, enabling students to explore subjects in greater depth and from multiple perspectives, especially in this era of digital inclusion.

“We are extremely pleased with the commitment we share with key and reputable stakeholders in enhancing our local education system through this campaign. Progresif stands as a cornerstone of our dedication to equipping the digital learning community with essential online resources, particularly Wi-Fi connectivity, to support quality education aligned with Brunei’s Wawasan 2035 vision. We are honored to have worked closely with the Ministry of Education since the inception of Donate Data Phase-1 in 2021,” said Hjh Nurul Haniah Haji Jaafar, CEO of Progresif.

The "Adopt a School" campaign is an initiative focused on sponsoring internet connectivity, facilitated by stakeholders in Brunei. The selection of schools is predetermined and listed by the Ministry of Education, streamlining the process for stakeholders to make meaningful contributions to enhancing internet resources in education.

Phase 1 of the Donate Data campaign, launched in 2021 and championed by the Ministry of Education, aimed to support online learning, and enhance the digital lifestyle for students and teachers across the nation. The concept involved public donations via SMS, which were then converted into data value and sponsored to schools selected by the Ministry of Education.
