MPETNS school received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to purchase digital devices, develop digital skills, and implement initiatives that bridge the digital gap. 

​

In our school, high-speed broadband is a vital resource that supports the development of essential digital skills and enhances teaching and learning across the curriculum. It enables pupils to engage with interactive content, access online educational resources, and participate in dynamic, technology-rich learning experiences—preparing them for the demands of a digital world.

 

We are pleased to share that our school now has access to high-speed broadband connectivity through the Department of Education’s School Broadband Programme, delivered as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU.
