Digicel Foundation to bridge digital divide at Old Harbour Primary
Tamoy Ashman / Our Today
The Digicel Foundation is to partner with the Ministry of Education and Youth in gifting Old Harbour Primary School a smart computer lab.
The Foundation said this would aim to bridge the digital divide at the school by providing students with access to information and communications technology (ICT).
Old Harbour Primary is one of the oldest primary schools in Jamaica and will also receive this lab to promote digital literacy and creative, technology-based learning techniques.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed during a ceremony tomorrow at the St Catherine-based school before the construction of the lab.
This will fall under the foundation’s STEAM initiative, which aims to create 10 ICT rooms in primary schools in rural Jamaica by 2024.
The first ICT rooms were constructed in April 2022 at Harry Watch Primary in Manchester and Anchovy Primary in St James.
