With the new school year now underway, some hinterland-based students remain concerned over their inability to access virtual platforms to keep up with their curriculum.
A 15-year-old student living in Lethem, Region Nine, said that while students are engaged through virtual platforms this hasn’t started yet. She noted that last term the students formed groups and received packages from the Education Ministry but these haven’t been distributed for the new term. She reminded that not all students have access to the internet and that this leaves them at a disadvantage. She is unsure how these students are engaged.
