Computer Lab Program for Children in Vietnam
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesComputer literacy is one of the largest unmet needs of the educational systems in Vietnam, and often what holds young students back from being part of the global community. The "life skills" computer lab programs provide students with much needed practical training and skills that are marketable to employers. Each computer lab is established directly in a school, mainly secondary ones, and will be utilized on average by over 1,000 children. ActivitiesWe achieve our goals through the establishment of computer labs directly in the schools accompanied by teacher training. Training ensures adequate knowledge transfer from teacher to student, and ensures that the hardware is maintained properly.
