KC and Holmwood Awarded Free Internet Access for Life by C&W Jamaica
Basil Waite
Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited (C&WJ) has offered to provide free high speed Internet service for life to Kingston College and Holmwood Technical High School as a reward for their victories in this year's VMBS/ISSA Boys' and Girls' Track and Field Championships respectively. According to C& WJ President and CEO, Rodney Davis, the provision of his company's high speed Internet service would go a far way in enhancing the learning experience and performances of students as well as teachers.
Cable and Wireless Jamaica’s broadband network is amongst the fastest, most reliable and technologically advanced ADSL network in Jamaica. The Company recently pumped some $3 million into the 2006 Athletics Championships and sees its donation as a fitting way of rewarding superior performance with a superior system.
KC Computer Lab
KC has three computer labs in addition to computers for teachers. These have been funded by the school’s development trust fund (KCDTF) as well as the New York and Toronto KCOBA Chapters. No doubt the administration will be repositioning itself to take advantage of this C & WJ gesture which will be an added fillip to the recent e-learning program announced by the Ministry of Industry and Technology.
