According to CEO Bartee, the computers are intended
for and will only be given to Public Schools. He said that there is a criteria set for the delivery of the computers
to the beneficiaries. The CEO said every school that is to benefit from this gesture must have an arranged room for the
setting up of the computers and a generator to power them. Mr. Bartee said that in the absence of these facilities, his office
will not deliver the school consignment.
As of the posting of this information, only
Pleebo High School has met the criteria and has received 28 pieces of computers.
When questioned about who is responsible to prepare
the facilities for the public schools? (The Ministry of Education or the School’s administration?), he said it is the
School’s administration that is responsible.
According to our observations, some public
schools will not be able to purchase and/or fuel a generator in the absence of external support.
