the step looks set to benefit students in computer networking and boost
teacher-student interaction, as well as create a socialising platform
for teachers from different schools.
The body aims at improving the quality of education among schools and catching up with the fast growing ICT sector.“2,500 computers have already been purchased at a cost of ETB23 million(1.3 million$) to connect the schools,” said bureau head Delamo Otore.
“Secondary, primary and kindergarten education coverage in the metropolis has reached to 80pc, 105pc and 95pc respectively, said Otore.
