An Educational Technology Resource Centre (ETRC) is located here. The vision of the centre
is to empower learners through technology and partnerships, whereas its mission is to
enhance the teaching/learning process and the development of competencies in literacy and
numeracy through appropriate educational technologies.
The ETRC is equipped with an impressive array of equipment – from multimedia and overhead
projectors, digital cameras, notebook and desktop computers, to alpha smarts - for
integrating technology into the teaching learning process, to make it more exciting and
effective. Pre-service Teachers (Students) and their Lecturers, in-service Teachers, and
Education Officers all use the resources of the centre.
The centre was established through the New Horizons Project for Primary Schools (NHP), a
joint initiative of the Government of Jamaica and United States Agency for International
Development (USAID).
