To strengthen early childhood education, the Ministry of Education has delivered laptops and specially designed digital tablets to students in Santa Tecla, La Libertad. The initiative aims to enhance digital inclusion and promote equitable access to learning tools from an early age.
The beneficiaries, preschool students from José María San Martín Kindergarten, Jardines de La Sabana, and Quezaltepec neighborhood, received the devices during a special event attended by their parents or caregivers. The newly distributed tablets feature a unique design tailored to support early development and cognitive growth in young children.
“This is more than just handing over a device. It’s about opening the door to a world of knowledge for our youngest learners,” said a Ministry of Education representative during the event.
Each device, whether a laptop or a tablet, is officially owned by the student and is not required to be returned. They come preloaded with educational software, over fifteen applications, and interactive games that blend play with learning. Additionally, all tablets are equipped with GPS security systems, allowing them to be tracked in the event of loss or theft. Importantly, they are functional both with and without internet access, ensuring continuity of use in a variety of environments.
The effort directly contributes to the fulfillment of the Ley Crecer Juntos (Grow Together Law), which emphasizes the importance of early educational support and digital inclusion. By integrating technology into the foundational stages of learning, the government seeks to uphold every child’s right to quality education and equal digital opportunities.
As the distribution continues across the country, this initiative marks a step forward in building a more inclusive and modern educational system, starting with the nation’s youngest students.
