Digicel PNG Foundation has once again made a crucial contribution to the education of young minds partnering with Lae Secondary School to refurbish their computer lab.
Lae Secondary is the 8th school to receive a BeLit Computer Lab, which includes the installation of 40 brand new laptops, chairs, tables and other equipment.
At the recent launching ceremony, Head Boy, Samuel Nelson recalled his experiences prior to the lab upgrade.
“When I was in grade nine, we had to share one laptop among three to four students… so it was a bit difficult at times doing work but with these new laptops it’s going to be much better.”
School Board Chairman Edward Buasin, expressed gratitude towards Digicel Foundation for the initiative.
“I want to express my gratitude to the Digicel Foundation for stepping up and establishing a computer lab at our school.”
“We welcome contributions from partners like the Digicel Foundation to our school since we know they will help to improve knowledge transfer there.”
Students of Lae Secondary will now have an opportunity to improve their computing and ICT skills.
This is the second secondary school in Lae to receive a newly renovated lab, the first being Busu Secondary School.
Digicel Foundation’s Board Chairman, Michael Henao who officiated the launch stated that Digicel’s commitment to education and health remains firm.
“ICT skills are essential in today’s technologically advanced world, and computer literacy is a must for all of you to be competitive in the marketplace.”
“Lae Secondary’s BeLit Lab is going to support you on that journey.”
