Teachers and students within the newly established Student Support Unit at Ottos Comprehensive School have received a boost to their Literacy Center after the recent donation of educational equipment by Sandals Foundation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The items, which include a projector, visual smart board and a 32″ television, will support the learning process of\u00a0\u00a0 students who are facing challenges with reading and writing and are currently enrolled in the school\u2019s pilot Special Education Literacy Program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Principal at the secondary school, Foster Roberts said, \u201cThe system did not cater for such children and so Ottos Comprehensive Secondary School was chosen and is one of the pilot schools for this special literacy program.\u00a0 In fact, we had the teachers with the basic training, but did not have the tools to go with it. So now that we have the tools to go with it, the children will certainly benefit tremendously.\u00a0 They will now be able to interact with their teachers on the devices that were given to us by Sandals Foundation. So thank you very much for partnering with us in delivering quality education to our children.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Special Education teacher and Head of the school\u2019s Resource Center, Andrea Roberts said, \u201cthe students will have extra resources to help with the delivery of their lessons as integrating technology with teaching always benefit\u00a0 students, especially those who learn differently. In addition to that, should schools within the system be forced to go back to virtual learning the equipment gifted to Ottos Comprehensive School will be used for delivery classes to students at home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For Executive Director at the Sandals Foundation, Heidi Clarke, \u201cOur support of literacy programmes is an integral part of our work in education and learning institutions across the Caribbean. It is through the development of strong literacy skills that children and adults can build a solid foundation to advance in other areas of study and reach their potential,\u201d<\/em> said Clarke.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our fundamental belief that nurturing the capacity and love for reading is the best vehicle to nurture confidence. It is our duty to support this literacy programme in reaching those that are in need of added intervention to ensure they have a chance at a bright future<\/em>,\u201d Heidi Clarke, Executive Director at the Sandals Foundation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Sandals Foundation is an associated partner of the United Nations with its programmes recognized for contributing to the sustainable development goals. Quality education is Goal#4 of the 17 developmental targets for achieving an end to poverty and a more equitable world.<\/p>\n
