More than 1,300 students across 26 high schools will have their exam fees covered this year, thanks to a $7.8m donation from NCB Foundation. The bursary, which supports students sitting information technology at the CSEC level and Computer Science Units 1 and 2 at CAPE, forms part of the foundation’s mission to empower Jamaica’s next generation of digital professionals.
