Beausejour, Carriacou: Within the period of September 20 -24, most secondary school students and teachers at the island\u2019s two secondary schools, Bishop\u2019s College and Hillsborough Secondary School, were equipped with e-learning devices by the Ministry of Education.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The initiative is part of the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development\u2019s first phase of distribution, towards e-learning across the country, and entails the introduction of technology to facilitate teaching and learning at all secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Planning Officer in the Ministry of Education, Nailah James, described the distribution in Carriacou as a smooth process and commended parents, teachers and students of both Hillsborough Secondary School and Bishop\u2019s College.<\/p>\n

James said that the idea of e-learning, which was alluded to by the Minister of Education, Hon. Emmalin Pierre, in early 2019 is timely, given that the educational sector was forced to adopt new teaching and learning methods as COVID-19 continues to affect various sectors worldwide.<\/p>\n

Principal of the Hillsborough Secondary School, Brian Lendore, and Principal of Bishop\u2019s College, Indra Scott, congratulated the Ministry of Education for the implementation of the long-awaited e-learning and teaching system, one which they believe will be extremely impactful, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Approximately 426 devices were distributed among the two secondary schools in Carriacou, for a small fee of $50.00 each upon registration and $25.00 for students under the Schoolbook Programme, a decision applauded by many parents on the island<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
