The turn of the century saw a surge in the use of ICTs in schools. The education sector witnessed an increase in the use of computers in schools both as an administrative tool and as a learning device. This led to schools buying computers in bulk for their computer labs. Between the years 2005 and 2011, World Links Zimbabwe Trust distributed well over 9000 computers with Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors. These are screens that have tubes just like older models of televisions sets.
As the world is becoming more digitized, there has been the emergence of more appealing and easy on the eye flat screen monitors. These take up less space, use less electricity and provide a clearer visual display as compared to CRT monitors of the past. World Links Zimbabwe has undertaken a study and found out that 85% of the schools still use CRT screens and are thus on the lower end of the computer satisfaction grid.
This discovery has prompted World Links Zimbabwe to launch a CRT replacement scheme. This scheme will basically see World Links Zimbabwe going into all schools it supplied with CRT monitors and replacing the monitors with Flat screen monitors FREE of charge. World Links Zimbabwe will also perform a major repair service on the machines to ensure that every student gets a first class feel of ICT education.
World Links Zimbabwe hopes to cover all schools still using CRT monitors and invites them to contact World Links Zimbabwe Trust offices on the following numbers, (04) 308 280 or 0734 376 263
