With the current COVID restrictions, our learning centre is only open full time for our pre-schoolers (3-6 year old). As of 7 February 2021, we have been advised by UNHCR, that will it is still unclear as to when in-person classes for our older children can resume.
.
Hence to ensure that the rest of our children continue to be fully engaged, we have embarked on our online program for our children
Introducing ZRCLC 2.0
Since September 2020 we have introduced video conferencing to supplement our teaching.
Our small online classes will allow for more focus and attention for each child. It will also allow us to cast a wider net for volunteers who can be anyone from around world!
Education Sets needed
Based on our past experience of requesting for used devices, we have decided that it be best that we purchase new entry level laptops/tablets to run the program
The estimated cost of each Education Set (tablet + headset & software) is approximately RM800 (SGD $270) . Currently we still need another 8 sets for the remaining of our students
