The Antigua and Barbuda government in line with its people first policy has rolled out another initiative that will benefit atleast 200 students at the Antigua State College.
In collaboration with Cable and Wireless under the Connect Antigua Initiative, which seeks to make the country's citizens technologically savvy, second year students in the business and A level faculties will be provided with an hp laptop. Apart from this, the mobile company has also pledged to connect each student's home with free internet service for at least one year.
Each student will be required to make a down payment of EC$350, which will be reimbursed if the laptop is returned in good condition.
Makes you want to go back to college and get on the band wagon doesn't it?
Congratulations to the government and Cable & Wireless for investing in our youth. We pray that the students will put the laptops and internet service to good use so that that programme can be extended to other students at the college.
