1. Provide internet access and virtual
learning environments via 1BestariNet. In the very near future, every student will have access to a 4G network at their school through 1BestariNet. This network will serve as the basis for the creation of a virtual learning platform that can be used by teachers, students and parents to share learning resources, run interactive lessons, and communicate virtually. In order to remain cost-efficient, the Ministry will invest in fit-for-purpose devices such as basic computers or low-cost laptops.
