Connect a school, connect a community

摘要

When a school is connected to the Internet, it is often the case that local people can use its facilities too. Through its Connect a School - Connect a Community initiative, ITU is working with a range of partners to identify best practice in closing the digital divide for both schoolchildren and the communities where they live in developing countries.rnOne of the clearest and most successful examples comes from Portugal. Under its eEscola (or "eSchool") project, laptop computers with wireless 3G broadband connectivity are being provided to all students and teachers.
