Digicel handed over 90 tablets to Hampton School, the first tranche of 800 tablets to be provided to the 155-year-old all-girls' institution by the telecommunications company. The tablets have been uploaded with the Cyber School Technology Solutions' interactive learning programme, which assists students to quickly grasp the intricacies of math and science. The signing and handing over of the tablets took place recently at Hampton School.
