Bluffs of 2015-2016
To prove that Government is lacking in the implementation of its ICT measures, Burton-Persaud went as far back as 2015, when APNU+AFC first assumed office and chronicled the journey to present.
She noted that the APNU+AFC chose to rebrand the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) project into a One Laptop Per Teacher (OLPT) project after realizing that 40,000 laptops were expected from China. “They decided that it was good to give it to the teachers; but some teachers got the laptop and some were asked to pay $30,000 per laptop but they are still to make way into the education system today.”
She then turned attention to 2016 when the government touted the creation of an information hub in Government agencies. Burton- Persaud questioned, “What has become of that? How many hubs are there in the government agencies?”
