Queen Mary University of London has donated 70 computers to a school in Gozo, strengthening digital access for students and supporting classroom learning across several year groups. The donation includes desktop units that have been refurbished and checked to ensure they are ready for educational use, giving pupils reliable tools for research, coursework, coding, and multimedia projects. School staff said the new equipment will help reduce pressure on existing IT resources and allow more students to work on devices simultaneously during lessons.
The initiative forms part of Queen Mary’s wider commitment to community engagement and educational outreach beyond its London campuses. By redistributing hardware that still has strong performance capabilities, the university extends the lifecycle of the machines while directly addressing the technology needs of a partner institution. Teachers at the Gozo school plan to integrate the computers into both STEM subjects and humanities classes, using them for interactive learning platforms, language practice, and digital literacy programs that prepare students for further study and future workplaces.
Logistics for the handover were coordinated with local education authorities to ensure the units were installed and networked with minimal disruption to the school timetable. IT support staff from the school will manage the devices going forward, with guidance from Queen Mary on best practices for maintenance and software updates. The donation also opens the door for future collaboration between the university and the school, including potential online workshops, mentoring sessions, and shared curriculum projects. For the students in Gozo, the arrival of the 70 computers represents a significant upgrade in classroom technology and a tangible link to an international university committed to expanding educational opportunity.
