The One Laptop Per Family project has been revived after having been condemned to oblivion by the previous government. The announcement of its resuscitation came from President Irfaan Ali while on a visit to Kato last month, and he was reported by the Office of the President as saying that it would place Guyana on par with the rest of the technological world. He was also quoted as commenting that the “programme would ensure that every child has the opportunity to not only be connected to the hub, but has the instrument through which they can pursue their studies.”
President Irfaan Ali last week announced the re-introduction of the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) initiative.
According to a statement from the Office of the President, the Head of State told residents of Kato in Region Eight on December 22 that the programme would re-start in 2021 with the aim of placing Guyanese on par with the rest of the technological world.
The issuing of laptop computers would go hand-in-hand with access to the internet, which the President said is earmarked for interior locations.
“Next year we will also restart the One Laptop Per Family programme to ensure that every child has the opportunity to not only be connected to the hub but has the instrument through which they can pursue their studies”, he was quoted as saying.
