My apologies Berrybw 06:40, 13 March 2008 (EDT)Pilot DetailsNepal'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 support 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. 50 laptops should arrive in Mid-March and the remainder will arrive early April. The pilot will take place at a single school in the outskirts of Kathmandu. Laptops will be piloted in grades 2 and 6 (ages 6 and 11). OLE Nepal is coordinating many aspects of pilot including teacher training, learning activity development, networking, and hardware deployment. Team MembersFrom the Department of Education:
