The General Manager added that this initiative reduces the amount of energy used by 60 to 70 per cent.
GTI and Starr Computer have seen a number of benefits throughout their years of partnership, and Starr Computers hope to strengthen this relationship in the future. According to Majeed, for the past five years, all technical institutes have been recipients of products from Starr Computers. The Linden, Leonora, Essequibo and Mahaicony Technical Institutes have all received some form of training or equipment from the company. He also noted that the aim was to reduce the use of books and replace them with tablets. The world is becoming more and more technologically advanced and the company believes that educational institutions need to get with the times and invest in their computer labs.
