TCL gives tablets, supplies to community schools

Cemex Trinidad Cement Ltd (TCL) has been supporting schools and students within its operating communities of Claxton Bay and Mayo for the new academic year via its annual back-to-school drive

TCL said it recognises the significant role that education plays in building a sustainable future and in the empowerment of generations to come.

In a media release the company said it maintains its commitment through continued investment in the educational needs of communities through its various programmes and initiatives.

This initiative included distributing school bags and stationery to primary school pupils over the past three weeks.

TCL’s employees also voluntarily contributed to the cause, the release said.

Tables were donated to primary schools to be used as part of their device loan programmes and to assist pupils in need of access to online resources.

The company also donated whiteboards and computer monitors to help improve classroom learning, the release said.

TCL also recently resumed its annual SEA scholarship programme – Build Your Future Awards for Excellence, at the first opportunity since the covid19 pandemic, the release said.

SEA pupils were awarded vouchers redeemable for school supplies in recognition of their academic and extra-curricular achievements and to help offset educational expenses as they enter secondary school.

TCL reiterated its commitment to adding value to its communities and said it looks forward to continuing to build meaningful relationships and collaborating with its stakeholders.
