Current Status

Nepal's Department of Education is planning to pilot OLPC at a test school in April of 2008. Nepal's Minister of Education, Pradip Nepal, strongly supports the OLPC program.

Currently, the pilot is planned at a Kathmandu-area school. The Danish IT Society has generously donated roughly 200 XO laptops for the pilot.

See Bashuki Journal and Bishwamitra Journal for updated information about the first two pilot schools in Nepal.

There are a number of organizations working on the OLPC project in Nepal
