The Learners And Teachers At Both Of Sparrow Schools Campus Will Be Pleased To Discover That Vumatel Has Donated Money To The School To Allow Them To Purchase 1 100 Face Masks And Made A Contribution To The Schools
Sparrow Schools in Melville and Sophiatown were able to welcome back their learners and staff to school with their safety prioritised thanks to Vumatel.
The open access fibre network installer made a donation to the school which allowed them to purchase 1 100 masks for those returning to school under Level 3 of the lockdown. Vuma School Project and Sponsorship manager, Taylor Smith said the act of kindness was grounded in ensuring all staff and learners were safe.The company has been involved with Sparrow Schools in the past. In 2016, Sparrow Schools joined the company’s Fibre to Schools programme which gives primary and secondary schools access to free uncapped fibre with a one-gigabyte-per second-line.
Smith said Internet access for learners and teachers would be an important factor in how we think about the future. She added, “Digitising our education sector will ensure both learners and educators have better access to information, and that young people enter the world of work equipped with skills that are increasingly in high demand across a range of sectors in South Africa.”
To be part of Fibre to Schools program, the primary or high school must be registered with the Department of Basic Education or Independent Examinations Board, and must be located within Vuma’s fibre network.
