The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information is to examine the ‘Own Your Own Device Incentive Programme’ to determine why a minority of the eligible persons have redeemed their electronic vouchers relative to the devices.
Speaking in the House of Representatives on May 5, Minister of Education, Youth and Information, Fayval Williams, said in terms of the “Own Your Own Device, we have actually issued 20,207 vouchers, but when we look at how many have been actually redeemed, only 9,524 have been redeemed.”
Williams was quick to indicate that “We are going to look at the programme to see what’s stopping people from redeeming”.
