She cited that the tablets could be used by children from poorer families that might not have access to education as schools shift to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, physical classes are discouraged to avoid exposure to the virus.

I heard having a tablet or computer is a requirement for online classes so I will do the best I can 🙏🏻 I’m sorry I can’t help everyone but I will try to help as much as I can
