Johor to distribute 8,000 devices for home-based teaching and learning, says state rep
ISKANDAR PUTERI, Aug 23 ― The Johor government will start distributing a total of 8,000 electronic devices, comprising computers and mobile broadband internet, worth RM25 million for home-based teaching and learning sessions in September.
“The Johor government has chosen to distribute computer devices and mobile broadband internet to students from the B40 families and single mothers as it is more practical for usage as well as having a larger memory to accommodate PdPR sessions at home,” said Mazlan. Apart from that, he said special mobile broadband internet facilities will also be provided for students who will sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia in 2022 and it will be handed over to the respective schools.
“However, the Johor government has also obtained direct cooperation with the device manufacturers without going through a third party to minimise the current disruption,” said Mazlan.
