Overall achievements SchoolNet has achieved an incredible amount. In just
over three years, SchoolNet has launched an ISP, successfully connected
around 150 schools to this ISP, and set up computer laboratories
in these schools. It has also shown how these can be done in rural
and disadvantaged areas there are neither telephone lines nor connections
to the power grid. |
|
| It has pioneered
affordable strategies and solutions for schools. Its models combine
low-cost refurbished computers, open source operating systems and
software applications, discounted access to the Internet, and the
offer of ICT volunteers to provide basic ICT support after set up
and installation. SchoolNet has become a strong voice for ICTs in
schools and the education sector. Its wide contacts with key actors
in the ICT and education sectors provide it with influence and leverage.
Government and other actors have begun to take these issues seriously.
Other similar projects are emerging. SchoolNet has also begun to tackle the lack of ICT skills in Namibia and in Namibian schools. Through mentoring and training, many young people have gained computer-related skills from SchoolNet and they are now starting to benefit by getting jobs. In the schools, the pool of ICT- aware teachers and learners has also grown, and these individuals are starting to use the computers and the Internet in their daily lives and in the classroom. |
