* At the end of 2006', there are 8,455 kindergartens, 545,812 chidren, 23,010 classes, 6,470 office workers and 32,096 teachers. We estimate there should be an extra OLPC per 500 children and per 100 teachers. So, we need (545,812 x 100.5% = ) about 600,000 OLPC(hild)s at minimum, and (6,470 + 32,096 = 192,353) x 101%= about 40,000 Type III OLPC(itizen)s.
As the table shows, we plan to distribute about 200,000 machines to kindergartens in South Korea, and, as soon as the Korean government operates national-wide kindergarten system, we hope to distribute about 2,000,000 OLPCs to Korean kindergartens, covering 3~5 years old children.


* As this OLPC wiki estimates one server per 100 OLPCs, we may need 23,010 servers. However, there are some schools whose students are less than 100, a little more servers more will be needed, maybe 25,000 servers.
* 2008': 250,000 machines for pilot program
* Estimated budget: 787 million dollars at minimum
* 2009': 2,000,000 machines for the entire kindergartens in South Korea
** 660 million dollars for OLPC(hild)s ($110 per unit).

  • At the end of 2006', there are 8,455 kindergartens, 545,812 chidren, 23,010 classes, 6,470 office workers and 32,096 teachers. We estimate there should be an extra OLPC per 500 children and per 100 teachers. So, we need (545,812 x 100.5% = ) about 600,000 OLPC(hild)s at minimum, and (6,470 + 32,096 = 192,353) x 101%= about 40,000 Type III OLPC(itizen)s.
  • As this OLPC wiki estimates one server per 100 OLPCs, we may need 23,010 servers. However, there are some schools whose students are less than 100, a little more servers more will be needed, maybe 25,000 servers.
  • Estimated budget: 787 million dollars at minimum



Sub-total: we needs 800 million dollars for 600,000 kindergarten children' machines.
