The Ministry of Education recently commissioned a state-of-the-art Smart Class-room at Mahdia Primary School, equipped with cutting-edge technology aimed at transforming the learning experience for pupils.
A release from the ministry said that the commissioning was led by Deputy Chief Education Officer with responsibility for Amerindian and Hinterland Education Development, Marti DeSouza, alongside a visiting World Bank team.
In a move toward modernized education management, Mahdia Primary School has also integrated the Education Management Information System (EMIS), a real-time data collection tool that is replacing many paper-based methods of keeping records. Teachers and administrative staff at Mahdia Primary are now able to input and access important educational data instantaneously, improving data accuracy and freeing up time.
The Smart Classroom is fully equipped with high-speed internet connectivity, an interactive whiteboard, and tablets pre-loaded with IXL learning materials. IXL’s comprehensive suite of interactive exercises supports student development in core subjects, allowing for personalized learning pathways, the release said.
This project is part of the Ministry of Education’s objective to create a digitally inclusive society and education system.
