The Opposition says Technology Minister Daryl Vaz should provide the country with an update on the project announced in December, to implement a 100 day plan for a fibre optic broadband network roll out, and the 237 million US dollar plan to create universal internet access.

Spokesman on Technology Hugh Graham says he has heard nothing more about these projects and is concerned that the expectations for improved connectivity will not be met.

He reiterates that there are several rural communities with no connectivity.

Mr. Graham states that he is extremely disappointed with the way the government has treated these projects, which are critical to the education system, as the students are being disadvantaged through further learning loss.

Meantime the Technology Spokesman says very little was done over the summer holiday to improve the education system’s technological readiness and ability, to facilitate the continuation of online teaching and learning.

In a statement today (September 6), Mr. Graham says he is extremely concerned, that the government has failed to achieve a number of targets in relation to the delivery of devices to students and increased roll out, of fibre optic broadband internet connectivity across the island.
