Two Tobago schools, Scarborough Methodist Primary School and Hope Anglican Primary School, received Chromebooks, thanks to the generosity of Dr. Brian Yearwood, PhD, an education superintendent at Texas Tech University. The Chromebooks will be equipped with two programmes – Mind Play and MyOn – that will be available to students in order to help them improve their reading ability.
