The NTRC has launched another program to connect students who do not have an internet connection at home. This program is targeted towards students who received tablets from the recent SVG Government tablet initiative. Students would be connected via a sim card which would have a paid plan specialized for students for a period of three months. This plan includes 40GB of data per month which could be used for research purposes and the use of Microsoft Teams, the platform used for online classes, is free to use between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. For persons who wish to apply for the Internet for Tablet Program, please note the following:
- Household does not have internet as of March 10, 2021
- The student must have access to a tablet which was received from the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
To be eligible to receive a sim card under this program, a form must be filled out with the required information. Forms can be obtained from the Security on the ground floor of the NIS Building on Upper Bay Street or by clicking the download button below. Conveniently, you can also apply online by clicking the “Apply Online” button below.
