EDUCATION Minister Dr Michael Dowlath said government will upgrade the wireless connectivity of 125 government and government-assisted secondary schools and 455 primary schools. He was speaking at the post-Cabinet briefing at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's, on September 11, four days into the new school term.

Dowlath said the aim was to boost e-learning and e-testing, as a prelude to the issuance of laptops due "in the upcoming weeks."

The government has promises to provide laptops to all Form One students. It was a campaign promise by the UNC in the April 28 general election.
