Broadband Internet Service Now Available At Beersheba Primary School – Vincent Samuels

Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) has received information from Mrs. Naomi Foster-Brooks, Acting Principal at Beersheba Primary School, New Market, Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica West Indies, that Broadband Internet Service is now available at the school.

Mrs. Foster-Brooks has informed BOSA that the new innovation will enable teachers at the school to do research that will enhance the teaching process. Mrs. Foster-Brooks has also informed BOSA that Parents in Beersheba Primary School Community have been advised that they can come to the school to learn how to use the service.

In keeping with its vision to ensure that all students who graduate from Beersheba Primary School are computer literate, BOSA has informed Mrs. Foster-Brooks that everything should be done to ensure that students – particularly those who are in grade 6 – should get hands on training and experience on the computer so that they will be able to do assignments in Information Technology (IT) that will be given to them when they are admitted to high schools.

In response to inquiry made by BOSA as to whether or not Beersheba Primary School has benefited from 17,500 Tablets that the Government of Jamaica through Universal Service Fund (USF) is to make available to schools in the island, Mrs. Foster-Brooks informed BOSA that none of these tablets will come to  Beersheba Primary School because they have already been allotted to other schools.
