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 [http://www.dansk-it.dk/presserum/pressemeddelelser/dansk_it_starter_landsindsamling_i_2008.aspx?lang=da Danish IT Society] has generously donated roughly 200 XO laptops for the pilot. |
