The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational training has launched the use of G-Suite for Education for pupils and staff throughout public schools in Barbados.
This platform is available in school, from home and from any other computer with internet access. It is also available on other devices, such as smartphones, iPads, etc.
Students will have access to the following apps:
The use of this tool not only adds to the learning experience of your child but allows for the seamless transition from the physical classroom to the virtual classroom.
No personal information whatsoever, such as dates of birth, gender, addresses is provided or linked to names!
A lot of the privacy concerns which apply to the "public" Google do not apply to G-Suite for Education:
Google does not enable profiles, or web history or provide its social Google+ web pages on our system.
Google does not place advertising on pages in Google Apps for Education.
For further information regarding GSFE compliance with the latest data protection act click here.
The only personal information which we provide to Google to run this service are names.
The school can access all the data stored in your child's account and suspend or delete an account at any time.
We ask for your permission to create an email account for your child when they join the school, but you can withdraw this permission at any time and we will delete your child's account. This will mean that there will be important parts of the ICT curriculum that your child cannot access.
Children are only able to use email within @school.edu.bb domain - in other words, between their fellow primary school pupils and staff.
Your child's logon ID is derived from their first name, surname and birth year.
Child's name: Kaci Print
Child's username: kaciprint2020.jop@school.edu.bb
Every child will be issued with logon credentials upon entry to the school. ie: email address and a default password to be changed at first logon.
