Five primary schools in the Corozal District have received 100 recycled computers, while Corozal ITVET has received four virtual reality welding training systems.
Transparent BPO donated the computers, with each school receiving 20 desktops. The Ministry of Investment provided new hard drives, and each school is also receiving two laptops to support digital learning.
The beneficiaries are St. Paul’s Anglican, Church of Christ, Christiline Gill, Assemblies of God and Corozal Nazarene Primary Schools. The donation follows an IDB-funded assessment that identified a lack of basic IT equipment in schools as a challenge to hands-on digital learning.
Church of Christ Primary School Principal Jose Chan said the schools now have the tools, but teachers must ensure students gain the knowledge to use them. “We are getting the tools. Now it is time to pass on the knowledge,” Chan said.
At Corozal ITVET, four MIG welding virtual reality training systems were handed over through the Office of the Prime Minister and the Investment Policy and Compliance Unit.
