Praising Uruguay's One Laptop Per Child programe
With the headline "In Uruguay, confined students benefit from a unique virtual education policy", the French state-run media Radio France Internationale (RFI) highlighted the key role that Plan Ceibal ("One Laptop Per Child") currently plays in continuing with the educational tasks in times of COVID-19.

The advance of the disease around the world and the first cases in Uruguay led the government to suspend activities in the country's schools, a preventive measure that has been taken in several nations around the world to curb the pandemic.

"With the coronavirus crisis, UNESCO estimates that more than a billion students worldwide are no longer able to attend school. In Uruguay, since 2007, all public education students have been receiving a free tablet or laptop computer. A unique education policy in the world, very valuable in these times of pandemic," RFI stressed.

Uruguay is a world-class business center, which has made remarkable advances in technology. The country has exceptional connectivity and Internet penetration. Eighty-five percent of households have fixed broadband access (fiber optic Internet or ADSL), with 75% of them using fiber optics to the home, with download speeds ranging from 30 to 120 Mbps
