Learnership dispute

Good day

We are on a learnership with Ponontle Digital school that started in April 2024. We were told that HPE is funding. They gave us new laptops and told us that, the laptops are ours. We are done with theory and are now at work places. They sent a message on the group and told us to bring back the laptops because they want to give them to students from other learnership(SADICO). When we question them they changed and said "not SADICO, it's for HPE students.
