PIC: Building up an IT learning corner
Following the setting up of a Civic Action Team(CAT), the lack of computer
utilization for Education was identified by parents of school children of M.
Rambarrun Government School as a major problem. Promoting use of computer for
Education would allow, among other achievements, to: adopt a new approach to
upbringing of the new generation of primary school students and their parents
and to use new educational tools; reduce the rate of failures in the school,
be able to use Internet facilities for upgrading and acquiring knowledge; increase
self-esteem.
This project has now been Completed.
