This will solve all the Country's illiteracy problems! ROFL! PLEASE! There must be a way we can keep the VAT from these people!

I hope y’all got Belinda’s permission to do this.else trouble.

Jeffrey Lloyd is now certifiably corrupt to the core. These ridiculous and outrageously costly contracts are being concluded to enrich government-connected cronies and Lloyd himself whose family is under considerable financial pressure with big college/university bills, etc. Bottom line is, THERE ISN'T A SINGLE DIGITAL EDUCATION SYSTEM ON THIS PLANET THAT WORKS WITHOUT AN AMPLE CADRE OF VERY HIGHLY TRAINED, WELL-EDUCATED AND COMPETENT CLASSROOM TEACHERS WITH SUFFICIENTLY SKILLED TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT PERSONNEL BEHIND THE SCENES. AND LLYOD KNOWS FULL WELL WE HAVE NEITHER. WHAT LLOYD IS DOING HERE, IS SIMPLY FLUSHING OUR HARD EARNED VAT DOLLARS PAID OVER TO GOVERNMENT DOWN THE PROVERBIAL TOILET OF CORRUPTION. This little twerp should be handed his walking papers. Minnis keeping him on as Minister of Education can only mean one thing: Minnis doesn't give two hoots about our public education system, just as he doesn't give two hoots about our illegal immigrant crisis. LMAO

Thank you for elaborating, Mudda! This whole fiasco of a government is worse than sickening. They simply can't help themselves, or maybe that is the problem, helping themselves LOL!

If you think an undergraduate degree is all it takes to be a qualified teacher, then you yourself are the victim of either an inadequate education system or just plain daftness. Take your pick. ROWL

The Government has to make it worthwhile and easier for untrained teachers to get Dip Eds online at UB with practical experience in the classroom ............. the gaping pay scales are not worth it now. Too many trained teachers are leaving (for greener pastures).

What utter bullshit. Firstly they recruit Cuban teachers often not qualified in the subject they teach when there are qualified teachers on the island requesting employment or re-employment. To a large extent that nonsense can be attributed to the last Deputy Director and Director of education . As for all this Cable Bahamas equipment maybe the Minister should look at the previous computerized report card system which failed or the expensive interactive large screen TV with controls for each pupil. Most failed, were broken or not used. Then consider the general poor quality of Principals who will fail to secure this equipment and see stuff walk out the door by pupils and staff. Whilst the Minister is spending all this money there are workshops and Chemistry labs with outdated or no supplies. There are buildings that leak, the Testing and Evaluation Dep can't get coursework out to the high schools on time and this year was months late. As for advertising-most positions are who you know not what you know just like Principals often direct new technology to their favorite teachers or subject areas.

Not to mention the many school water fountains that don't work and the many disgustingly filthy school restrooms that lack a steady supply of running water and never seem to have toilet paper. It's all too obvious that personal financial pressures have resulted in Jeff Lloyd jumping on the gravy train of corruption. He's sold out lock stock and barrel. Truly pathetic!

Sooooooo, who owns Sam's Business Machines, CBL ..... his cronies????? SMH

This country has spent hundreds of millions on education and children graduate unable to speak, read, comprehend, think critically or use basic math, but this will solve the problem? What a sad state of affairs!

The GB and Eleuthera school districts are among the lowest performing BJC/BGCSE in the public schools ....... So, give them tablets and internet and that will create teaching/learning magic??????

The MOE has to come clean and publish the BJC/BGCSE results each year by school and district ...... and hold them accountable to IMPROVE .......... All we hear is vague nonsense and gimmicks about so-called improvements but see NO evidence of this "D-average" increase ............... Let us know what the Government is spending this money on, please.

Why private school??????? ........... that is the problem with our country ...... We attach money value to quality education ........ this is so pathetic.

The best school systems in the world are all public ........ and they spend far less per student than US per capita .......... We have our priorities so wrong!!!!

Just to add that in the UK the tablet for every student was tried---- It didn't work.
