Indarsingh: Pupils left behind by online learning
Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh. -
COUVA South MP Rudranath Indarsingh bitterly complained that after a year of the covid19 pandemic some pupils have been left behind by their inability to access online learning due to a lack of electronic devices and/or internet connectivity. He was part of Parliament's Joint Select Committee (JSC) on Social Services and Public Administration chaired by Paul Richards which on Wednesday held a virtual sitting to meet the Telecommunication Authority of TT (TATT), Digicel, Flow and TSTT/BMobile.
Indarsingh lamented that 35,000 pupils have no devices, while an unnamed school principal had complained that the State had not supplied internet access at her school even as she asked the MP to find a private service provider.
