WITH efforts to support the use of technology and online learning, GTT Business Solutions has recently donated free Biz Fibre Internet service to the School of Brilliant Beginnings at Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, a release from the company said.

The company noted that the School of Brilliant Beginnings is a learning institution that aims to use technology to bridge the home and school gap by showing children that technology is more than entertainment.

Chief Operations Officer of Business Solutions, Orson Ferguson, recently visited the school to witness the positive impact the contribution may have on learners within the school.

“GTT is big on giving back to the community as we fulfill our promise of strengthening the community. We are also big on the use of technology and learning through technology. So, we are happy that we enforce the use of technology through this donation,” he said.

Meanwhile, Director of the School, Readonna Howell expressed gratitude to the Business Solutions team for its timely donation.
“School of Brilliant Beginnings is heading in the direction of teaching children in nursery and primary using technology as a teaching/learning tool. The sponsored Internet service provided by GTT will allow us to be one step closer to achieving that goal,” Howell said.

According to a release, she noted that currently, every Thursday each learner can use his/her device to complete activities in various subject areas.

“This makes learning more interactive, fun and relatable for them. The teachers are allowed to just be facilitators, while the children learn through trial and error, which we believe builds their confidence and independence,” Howell stated.

She explained that the school stands on individualism, small classes and readiness and caters to preschool, nursery and primary age learners.
