Yat Sen School has become the first school in the nation to have an Artificial Intelligence Facility.
The Artificial Intelligence Facility will allow primary and secondary school students to learn a number of subjects in a more advanced manner using the latest smart technology.
This was a gift from the Guangdong Province to the school along with lion props and books.
Minister for Education Rosy Akbar says the donation would boost the participation of students in their academic progress and cultural development.
Akbar says they have introduce smart classrooms in some schools around the country and are working to expand this to more schools in the next financial year.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson Chinese Education Society Warren Yee says their aim is to make Yat Sen School one of the most technological advanced schools in the region.
Yee says their medium plan is to revamp the school’s ICT infrastructure which will cost about US$250,000 to US$300,000.
He adds that they cannot do this alone, so to achieve this more assistance, partnership and collaboration is needed with the Chinese government, the Chinese Embassy in Fiji and also the Ministry of Education.
