Representatives from ministries, the Institute of Education, several UN agencies, biology teachers from pilot schools, and relevant specialists participated in the presentation. The platform’s launch underscores the country’s commitment to developing digital learning and improving schoolchildren’s health.
Experts described countries where “Immune Patrol” is already operational, demonstrated how the platform increases student engagement, and promotes understanding of health issues. The platform includes six modules with digital games, classroom activities, animations, and practical simulations.
