INTEL INTRODUCES INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN ARMENIAN SCHOOLS
YEREVAN, June 27./ARKA/. Intel company is rolling out the advanced
information technologies in about ten Armenian schools within the
framework of its Corporate social responsibility, Unicomp director
Armen Baldryan told ARKA Thursday.
Unicomp CJSC is an official partner of Intel in Armenia.
"As a part of its CSR, Intel is committed to develop appropriate
information technologies for schools, besides, many technological
programs, developed jointly with Microsoft, are delivered to schools
for free," Baldryan said.
According to him, Intel is implementing pilot projects targeted at
adapting high-tech to educational process in such Armenian schools as
Mkhitar Sebastatsi, Anania Shirakatsi lyceum, and the schools located
in Lori, Shirak, Aragatsotn regions.
"These schools received nearly 60 computers to open computer classrooms
as a part of this pilot project," he clarified.
Based upon the efficiency of the pilot project, a large-scale project
may be unleashed.
"The research made in other countries demonstrated the academic
performance rose by 30% due to high-tech. Students with low academic
performance got involved into educational process because they got
interested in technology," he noted.
According to Baldryan, Intel doesn't have any business interests in
equipping schools, the goal of its project is to create an effective
technological model for Armenian schools.
"Due to information technologies, students can continue studying
outside schools, thus they ensure regularity of education process.
School education requires new approaches, students should be interested
in studying using new technologies. Of course, technologies are
just tools for education, they can't replace a teacher, school,
educational environment, but on the other hand, technologies improve
the educational environment," he noted.
Armenia should step up with the global tendencies to offer competitive
products, he added. Baldryan said Intel offers a lot of programs
which can solve the issues of distance education, as well as some
other projects which should be united into a single complex within
an educational system.
"We need to solve the problem of Armenian translation of the content
in many programs, and if there is Armenian content, it can be used not
only in Armenia, but also in Armenian schools abroad," he clarified.
U.S.-based Intel Corporation was established in 1968. It
produces a broad spectrum of electronic devices and computer
components, such as micro processors, chips, etc. Its head
office is located in Santa Clara, California.-0- - See more at:
