The One Laptop Per Family programme has entered the critical phase that will see the Project Unit aggressively interacting with the public, as the much anticipated application form is released.
The Regional Democratic Councils and the general offices of the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Ten and Bartica, were supposed to make the forms and accompanying pre-paid, pre-addressed envelopes available to the public from yesterday.
While every Guyanese could access the document, the public is reminded that the eligibility criteria cater in the first phase to single parents, differently able and other persons who are considered as members of low income families.
Persons seeking to register their families for consideration are advised that the forms available at the RDCs and NDCs are the only documents to be used when applying, and should not be duplicated or paid for under any circumstances.
The completed forms must be returned to the OLPF Central Office on or before May 31, using any of the following methods: the prepaid, pre-addressed envelopes provided with the forms or; the normal mailing system, addressed to OLPF CENTRAL OFFICE, 161 Lamaha Street, North Cummingsburg, Georgetown . Applicants could also opt to deliver in person or complete the form electronically at olpf.gov.gy.
The One Laptop Per Family Programme is an initiative of Office of the President, which seeks to empower poor and working class Guyanese with the modern means of enabling an enhancement of their education, livelihood and personal ambitions, through the use of computer technology and access to the internet.
The OLPF is targeting 90,000 families over a three-year period. Guyana is leading the region and many parts of the world with this state-enabled laptop programme that caters to families.
