Teachers at Lawrence Tavern Primary School were given laptops and classroom technology during a Teachers’ Day ceremony in St Andrew on Wednesday.

All 36 teachers received laptops, courtesy of the Flow Foundation, while the school was presented with a BlackPoint smartboard through a partnership with Imperial Appliances. The handover marks the start of a wider effort to distribute 250 smartboards across the education system, with Lawrence Tavern Primary the first beneficiary.

Speaking at the event, the Minister of Education, Skills, Youth and Information, Senator Dr Dana Morris Dixon, said the occasion recognised the role teachers play in shaping the nation’s children.
