Eighteen thousand laptops will be procured for students entering Form One when the new school term begins in September.
At the post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday, Minister of Education Dr Michael Dowlath said the laptops will be purchased by the State enterprise iGovTT.
Noting that this initiative has been a passion project of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Dowlath said, “These laptops will not be given out empty. They will be equipped with AI tutors, educational videos, and programs that are age-appropriate and will allow our young people to live and learn in a digital world.”
