Fifteen thousand teachers will benefit from the roll-out of the Tablets for Teachers Programme, slated to begin in December 2019. Chief Executive Officer CEO at e-Learning Jamaica, Keith Smith, says the project implementation agency is currently undertaking the procurement process for the tablets, which will be distributed under the programme. He says the programme is part of an agreement between the Government and the Jamaica Teachers’ Association JTA to provide each teacher in public schools with a 10-inch tablet computer as part of their compensation package. The first phase of the programme will focus on infant and primary schools, and the second phase will focus on high schools.
