infrastructure and is undergoing several other upgradations as well which
include i-pads, wireless broadband networks in classrooms along with
interactive whiteboards the latter of which can be touchscreen or connected to
other devices.Further developments are taking place in Skorping School which
has been supplied by specially modified keyboards with higher durability from
