STUDENTS of Sadie Curtis Primary School are starting off the new school year with more technology at their fingertips, thanks to a unique community partnership between The Bahamas and China.

Member of Parliament for Nassau Village Jamahl Strachan thanked Dai Qingli, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, for supporting the goal of providing greater access to educational tools for the children of Nassau Village.

“I believe that in order to prepare our young ones to be competitive in the future, they must be equipped with the assets that they need now,” Mr Strachan said.

With the gift of technology in the form of desktops, tablets and keyboards, it will allow the students of Sadie Curtis to become familiarised with the digital world and ultimately, compete globally.”

“It is a pleasure to partner with the Embassy of China and Her Excellency Dai Qingli because it also speaks to the international bonds, friendships and camaraderie shown between the two nations to advance the younger generation.

On Monday, August 29, Mr Strachan officially presented the gifts to Sadie Curtis Principal Sheanda Mackey and staff, who expressed appreciation for the tools, which will undoubtedly enhance the educational experience for the students. The devices donated will boost existing facilities and enhance the digital curriculum and programmes.
