While in Kosrae to visit medical assistance projects under Pacific Partnership 2011, United States Ambassador Peter A. Prahar also took part in the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) ceremony at Tafunsak Elementary School early this month.
Made possible in Kosrae by a US $400,000 Compact Supplemental Education Grant, the first set of 810 laptops were for use by students in grades 5-8; the second set of 720 laptops will be for grades 1-4. OLPC is a U.S.-based non-government organisation established to provide affordable education devices to developing countries. |
