IT@School to enroll 60 lakh Kerala students under UID project

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government's IT@School Project starting next week for six days will impart customised information technoloy training to 45,000 school students.

IT@School, which is the technology arm of the general education department of the Kerala government, was set up for empowering schools with latest information and communications technology (ICT)-enabled education, besides implementing e-governance within the education department.

The project has recently received 'Honorable Mention' in Stockholm Challenge Award-2010 and has been considered the world's biggest ICT deployment in education using free software.

The programme will have two-day training sessions in three batches in over 750 centres spanning the state's 14 districts.

From each school, a minimum of 10 students from Classes 8 and 9 drawn from government-run, aided and also unaided schools will be taken for training.

IT@School Project's executive director Anvar Sadath said they provided specific IT training to 14,821 School Student IT Coordinators (SSITC) during the last Onam vacations and due to the positive response from schools, a similar idea of training was decided.

"The content of a two-day programme includes topics such as how to solve the technical problems in computers, how to effectively use internet at schools, various ways to prevent cyber crime, onsite support for free software applications and maximise use of Malayalam computing," Sadath said.

The students will also get a real-time experience of several graphic software, including audio-video editing tools such as K.D.N. Live and Audacity.
