Around 24,000 devices have been made available to help pupils with their remote learning.
Another 10,000 further devices will be purchased a matter of urgency. This includes the provision of laptops for vulnerable and disadvantaged students.
This is part of Education Minister Peter Weir’s pledge to support remote learning.
Around £7million has been provided this year.
The Minister said face-to-face learning is the optimal approach for children and young people.
“However, as a system, we are now significantly better prepared and equipped to deliver remote learning than we were last March.
“Additional funding has been provided to the Education Authority (EA) to continue to improve services available, including a number of additional learning applications and upgraded bandwidth.
“I welcome that almost £7million of funding has been provided to date to support remote learning during the current financial year,” he added.
