SEMIN Primary School in Southern Highlands was the first school in the country to install and launch a free Standard-based Curriculum (SBC) Wi-Fi system recently. Head teacher Job Mel thanked Chayil Information Technology for solving their issue of textbook shortage. He said the school had paid about K75,000 for the installation and it was worth the cost because it would last a long time. “We have issues with SBC materials to teach and the company has helped solve these issues,” Mel added. “We don’t have to spend money every year paying for the materials. “It is new, but the team has also provided training and we are currently accessing it. “For a remote school like us, we are privileged to have been introduced to the system.” The school is located in Nenbi- Plateau local level government area in Nipa-Kutubu, and is a three-hour drive from town. Chayil operations manager, Joe Chinau said the installation of the system would reduce some stress the school was going through in terms of material shortage. “Many schools don’t have the SBC materials to teach, which is affecting the students and so we have many dropouts every year,” he explained. “We are simply providing what the schools are missing out on.
“We are providing information. “The SBC Wi-Fi contains around 800, 000 e-books and the system is connected directly to the satellite which does not need an internet connection. “With the number of schools we have in the country, the government cannot help everyone because it will cost millions to deliver SBC materials to schools. “Chayil has come up with the solution to include all the SBC materials in the e-library for schools to access them offline.” The National / PNG Education news Also read
