CIOL:Intel to boost IT usage in education

NEW DELHI: Intel India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) to improve education of the Indian students by accelerating effective technology adoption and usage.

ON Singh, commissioner of NVS, and Surendra Arora, director, World Ahead and Enterprise, South Asia, signed the MoU in New Delhi.

Part of Intel's Education strategy under its World Ahead Program, the MoU will entail the start of a pilot project with the NVS, under which Intel will donate 60 Classmate PCs to class VII students in NVS Mothuka, Faridabad, an Intel statement said.

A batch of 60 students at NVS will undergo 1:1 teaching methodology. Children will be encouraged to use the PC for internet browsing for information seeking activities like research, and creation of projects through IT tools. The dormitories will also be wireless enabled to enable learning outside the classroom. Intel will also provide three laptops to teachers and wireless access points to enable connectivity in the school.

Arora, of Intel, said, "Through the World Ahead Program, we aim to provide greater accessibility by increasing access to fully capable, affordable PCs that are tailored to meet the regional needs of users. The Classmate PC is geared to make teaching and learning an effective and enjoyable experience for students."
