PHA DIGITAL LEARNING PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS ACCESS TO EDUCATION

摘要

Students who live in public housing are better off, thanks to a partnership between the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA), the School District of Philadelphia, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, and the City of Philadelphia. "This partnership has provided students with laptops, digital access, remote tutoring, and training for lab monitors," said PHA President and CEO Kelvin A. Jeremiah. "With the switch to virtual learning during the pandemic, a complete package of services is required. We are most thankful and appreciative to the City, the School District of Philadelphia and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia." Many students in the School District of Philadelphia, including those in public housing, are underprivileged and come from low-income or very low-income families. Acquiring laptops and digital access on their own is a challenge and, for many, impossible.
