Financial firm Radiant Mutual Limited says it has put forward an “easy and practical” solution for parents and students caught in the global shortage of tablets and computers which has negatively impacted online learning since this month’s start of the school year.

Among the company’s solutions is the provision of tablets and computers at affordable prices, as well as providing financing arrangements for students who need the critical learning tools but whose families can’t afford it in one payment.

According to Radiant Mutual, the firm’s singular motivation is to “play its part in providing access for equal opportunity learning to all our students and to reduce the digital divide that COVID-19 has so brutally exposed in our country”.

Radiant Mutual office hours are from 9 am – 5 pm from Mondays to Fridays and special arrangements can be made for parents of students living outside of the Corporate Area who might find it difficult to visit them during the week, for weekend schedules.
