“What is a preposition?” Angenique Cheltenham typed on one of about a dozen computers set up in the courtyard of Althea Scatliffe Primary School during the launch of the Ministry of Education and Culture’s E-Learning and Online Test Preparation System.
“We’ve been working on it for the past seven or eight months,” MEC Minister Myron Walwyn said of the hub, which is hosted by the Jamaica-based firm GoGSat Limited.
The website, which is already live at www.learninghub.online, allows students from grades four through 12 to access lesson notes, 24-hour online tutoring, educational games and other functions, Mr. Walwyn explained.
“This opportunity provides parents the ideal way to monitor their children’s progress or be in a position to be in constant communication with teachers,” he said.
To have full access to the resource, parents will be required to pay $5 a month, Mr. Walwyn said.
