==OLPC in Afghanistan== |
|||
The mission of this <b>Not for Profit Organization</b> is to create an environment for OLPC, take necessary steps to ensure every child in Afghanistan get the laptop and develop the Local Activities for [http://laptop.org OLPC] laptops that could revolutionize how we educate our children. The goal is to provide every child in Afghanistan with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves in a collaborative way. |
|||
Afghanistan is a very famous for being a multicultural country. Participation of the OLPC project in Afghanistan will not only revolutionize the way we teach children, the vision behind this "educational" project, but also scale up the eco-system of sharing between the diverse set of communities existing in the central Asian countries. |
|||
The [http://www.moe.gov.af Ministry of Education], [http://www.mcit.gov.af Ministry of Communications and IT], [http://www.asmed.af USAID Afghanistan Small and Medium Enterprise Development (ASMED)], [http://www.roshan.af Roshan Telecom] and [http://www.paiwastoon.com.af PAIWASTOON Networking Services] are working together to improve education and bring new opportunities for economic development through low cost computing and computer literacy for the Afghanistan's future workforce. |
|||
First 11,500 localized XO laptops with Dari and Pashto content will be deployed to 285 schools in form of computer labs, with 21 computers in each school. These 11,000 laptops shall reach over 85,000 children across Afghanistan. |
|||
1st deployment (pilot) will take place in the following provinces: |
|||
* Baghlan (20 schools) |
|||
* Herat (25 schools) |
|||
* Ningarhar (25 schools) |
|||
* Kabul (188 schools) |
|||
* Balkh (25 schools) |
|||

We are now in the process of finalizing localization of laptop into Dari and Pashto, preparing training materials for teacher trainings, do some power testing experiments and much more! First laptops shall be deployed during December time into Ningarhar province and after winter holidays we will continue with other provinces. |
