Rotary Club of Maraval president Maureen Aarons, centre, director Mary Charles, second from left, and charter president Dolores Jardin, left, present the computer tablets to Nina Ali, principal of Rampanalgas RC School.

Pupils of the Ram­panal­gas RC Pri­ma­ry School, lo­cat­ed in the north­east­ern coast­line, re­ceived nine com­put­er tablets from the Ro­tary Club of Mar­aval to as­sist their re­me­di­al pro­gramme. The do­na­tion which was made ear­li­er this month at the Ho­tel Nor­mandie, Port-of-Spain, has been laud­ed by the school’s prin­ci­pal.

“This is a dream come true for the re­me­di­al pro­gramme at our school,” says Ni­na Ali, prin­ci­pal of the pri­ma­ry school.

She said for the past three years the school has em­barked on a lit­er­a­cy pro­gramme to stem the cul­ture of il­lit­er­a­cy and low or no SEA place­ments from the small com­mu­ni­ty of Ram­panal­gas.

The lit­er­a­cy pro­gramme, spon­sored by the Ro­tary Club of Mar­aval and un­der the di­rec­tion of Ro­tar­i­an Mary Charles, has seen an im­prove­ment in the per­for­mance of chil­dren at Stan­dard 1 and Stan­dard 3, ac­cord­ing to a re­lease from the Ro­tary Club.
