Call for clear policy on WiFi in schools

Article by Tre Greaves

A philanthropist is calling on the Ministry of Education to set clearly defined rules on the use of WiFi and electronic devices in schools.

Founder of the Aron and Christina Truss Foundation, Aron Truss, made the call, noting that without it, innovation in schools could be hindered.

“As far as we are aware, there still aren’t official policies on the use of devices in the classroom, or WiFi in schools, so schools can’t really push forward with technology and innovation until those things are dealt with.

“So we’d really encourage the ministry to get on with it so that other projects like ours can start to take place in education,” he said. (TG)
