CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet invited two technicians of Fortuna Pix to its meeting, to address filling an unwanted gap in e-teaching and technology transfer.
Their teaching and learning systems involve the application of both tablets and printed matter, the latter to be utilized only when the student does not have access to tablets.
The text books are perfect replicas of the lesson appearing on the screens: however, the use of tablets is much less costly in the long run than printed texts and other print material in classrooms.
Currently, Fortuna Pix is operating in several English-speaking Caribbean countries, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, the British Virgin Islands.
In order to close that gap between our neighbours and Antigua and Barbuda, deployment of the technology is necessary.
The Ministry of Education and the Ministry with responsibility for technology transfer will collaborate to maake this venture a success.
