Pilot project in northeastern Ontario will provide Wi-Fi for students who travel 45 minutes or more on a school bus — an upgrade that will 'hopefully' be used for homework
Some students in northern Ontario may soon have another way to pass the time on long school bus rides.
Kajeet is a mobile network operator that provides wireless internet connectivity in multiple industries including education and healthcare.“It’s a great idea, I agree there are some financial implications that go with it,” he said. “Students would benefit from this.” The receivers would be put on routes where students travel for more than 45 minutes one way to school.
Trustee Jonathan Byer raised concerns about where the funding for the project would be coming from and what other options students have for doing school work on these rides.
