The Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion re­ceived 800 of 10,000 de­vices at a cer­e­mo­ny held re­cent­ly at TATT’s of­fices in Barataria. This rep­re­sents the first tranche of de­vices avail­able via a mem­o­ran­dum of un­der­stand­ing (MoU) with the Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tion Au­thor­i­ty of T&T (TATT), which will al­low for the sup­ply of ICT-en­abled de­vices and SIM cards with da­ta plans to pub­lic schools across the coun­try.

In an un­prece­dent­ed col­lab­o­ra­tion, tele­com providers Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of T&T Lim­it­ed (TSTT) and Dig­i­cel (Trinidad & To­ba­go) Lim­it­ed have come to­geth­er to pro­cure and pro­vide the de­vices. Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly, in ad­dress­ing the small group, ac­knowl­edged the tenac­i­ty of these and so many oth­er donors in se­cur­ing de­vices as T&T com­petes with the glob­al de­mand for tech­nol­o­gy caused by the pan­dem­ic.

In-need stu­dents at pub­lic schools across T&T will re­ceive the ICT-en­abled de­vices, which come with screen pro­tec­tors and cas­es, as well as SIM cards with mo­bile in­ter­net pack­ages from the mo­bile ser­vice providers.
