581 Tarlac City scholars get tablets, internet access

TARLAC CITY –– Tablets and access to the internet were handed to 581 city scholars this week to facilitate flexible or distance learning when the school term begins.

The scholars are recipients of the Tarlac City Integrated Scholarship and Incentive Program (ISIP).

“They received tablets, flash drives, and a monthly load allowance for five months from Smart Communications or Globe Telecom – depending on which network has the strongest connection in their barangay – or access to PLDT [on Thursday, Aug. 20],” said Maureen Clemente, Tarlac information officer.
