In a significant step to address the educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School has received a set of cutting-edge digital learning kits. The donation, part of a nationwide initiative, was facilitated by the Massy Foundation (Barbados) Inc., in collaboration with Kingdom Life Ministries and Caribbean eBook Ltd. The Learnit ‘Teachnology’ Solution kits were officially handed over during a ceremony held on Friday. Natalie McDowald, Massy’s marketing manager and a member of the Massy Foundation advisory panel, emphasized that the donation symbolizes more than just the transfer of equipment. ‘This moment is a declaration of belief in the power of education, the resilience of our youth, and our shared responsibility to ensure no child is left behind,’ she stated. McDowald highlighted the profound impact of the pandemic on the education system, particularly at schools like Grantley Adams Memorial, where issues such as absenteeism, learning loss, and environmental challenges persist. Despite these obstacles, she praised the school’s leadership for choosing hope and innovation by adopting the Learnit Solution. The Massy Foundation has already donated similar kits to several other schools, including Selah Primary, Lifelong School Skills Training, Ellerton Primary, St Mark’s Primary, and Hilda Skeene Primary, with plans to extend the initiative to Half Moon Fort Primary. To date, the foundation has invested over $424,000 in the program, with Kingdom Life Ministries contributing an additional $155,000, bringing the total donation to nearly $580,000. McDowald described the Learnit Solution as a lifeline for struggling learners, offering over 190 offline, interactive applications designed to enhance learning through touch, sound, and action. Principal Andrew Skeete welcomed the donation, noting its potential to bolster the school’s remedial program and deliver more responsive, flexible, and engaging instruction.
