Schools in Derry have been given computer equipment to help families overcome the challenges of home-schooling.
The equipment has been funded through Derry City and Strabane District Council's Covid-19 Community Support Programme (CSP), which has delivered support to local communities in recent months funded by the Department for Communities.
In January, £270,000 was allocated in a third tranche of funding for the delivery of a dedicated Connectivity Programme for post-primary schools in Derry.
