Education Minister says 2000 devices to be distributed to needy students

Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly says an additional 2,000 devices will be distributed to needy students this week.
Days before the start of the new school term, Gadsby-Dolly said a further 2,500 applications will be processed while the 2,000 devices are distributed. She said the Ministry has taken delivery of 20,000 devices.
The recipients of these devices were chosen after a means test was done in schools.
She noted that 2,500 applications are yet to be processed and this should be completed while the distribution of 2,500 devices continues this week. MiFi devices have been procured through iGovTT.
And as the schools reopen, the continuing assessment will be done to ensure that no child is left behind, the Minister added.
