The USP says it will make available 700 tablets to its students who may not have access to learning tools from home.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia says the University is also undertaking a survey to also determine the number of students who are not able to access the remote teaching platform.

He says approximately half of the tablets will be distributed among the Fiji campuses immediately.

Ahluwalia says USP students needing a tablet are encouraged to enquire at their nearest campus.

He says the remaining tablets will be sent to the regional campuses once the borders are opened.

Ahluwalia says that the distribution will ensure everyone has a fair chance to education and equal learning experience.

He adds that from the initial set of data, about 89% of the students have some electronic equipment or gadget such as Laptop/PC or Tablet.

USP has also opened all campuses from 8am to 8pm for students to access the computer labs and the libraries.

USP has converted almost 300 face-to-face courses to online.

He says students should contact their course coordinators if they are facing issues.
