40,000+ students across 200 schools in The Bahamas to receive reliable connectivity
This past summer, SpaceX donated 200 Starlink kits to schools in The Bahamas, and now Starlink is being installed in ~200 schools across nine islands including Exuma, Grand Bahama, New Providence, and Mayaguana, connecting more than 40,000 students to reliable internet. Some schools previously had no internet, with many schools experiencing intermittent blackouts that impact students’ abilities to stay connected and learn. Starlink is bolstering their internet speeds to 200-350mbps, which is improving the quality of connectivity for schools even in the most remote areas and supporting the country’s online programs to increase digital learning.
