Matkomai Primary School, North Fly, OLPC Project

Matkomnai is one of the larger schools and positioned centrally amongst the eight schools in North Fly, Western Province. It is operated by the Catholic Education Authority. During the first two weeks of August 2010, 18 teachers were trained in basic OLPC awareness and operation of the laptops. An action plan has been drawn up that will lead to the deployment of the OLPC projects at each of the remaining six schools in the next 1-2 months.

The teachers were given level 1 and level 2 training and completed the "minimum skill set" training for classroom use. More information on the training curriculum can be found here
