MP Samuda commends USF Connect a Child Programme as investment in students’ digital future

ST ANN, Jamaica — Against a backdrop of growing global digital inequality, Matthew Samuda, Jamaica’s Member of Parliament for St Ann North East, has publicly lauded the Universal Service Fund (USF) for the life-changing impact of its flagship Connect a Child Programme. At a recent device handover ceremony held at St Ann’s Bay Primary School, where the campus’s 10 highest-achieving students received new tablets, Samuda framed the initiative as both a timely and far-reaching intervention for Jamaica’s education system.
