(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Reach Out To Asia (Rota) in partnership with Qatar Petroleum (QP) has officially launched the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Indonesia Programme to improve access to modern technology and quality education
The programme will provide ICT infrastructure and training to 12 schools in Indonesia's Jogjakarta region, with plans of rolling it out to other schools in the future
The first assessment and implementation phase of the Program was completed in April, and the implementation phase has already started. A programme socialisation activity was held in October 2013, which brought together teachers and administrators from participating schools along with representatives from the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) for an overview of the programme's mission and objectives
The programme socialisation was followed by the preparation of school infrastructure
"We are proud to say that although in its early stage, Rota's ICT Indonesia Program has received an overwhelming response from participating schools, teachers and students," said Essa Al Mannai, Rota Executive Director. Al Mannai praised the efforts of the program's partners in Indonesia, namely Titian Foundation along with its associates, INTEL Indonesia and INFEST, which were assigned as service providers for participating schools
"We have full faith in Titian Foundation, our strategic partner in Indonesia. We have confidence in its capacity to carry out the ongoing program and expand its scope to other schools and regions in the country," added Al Mannai
Al Mannai also thanked QP for continuously supporting Rota's missions and initiatives, and for helping with the successful implementation of the ICT Indonesia Programme
"We have consistently solidified our commitment to the promotion of primary and secondary education in Qatar, and we are proud to have extended the scope of this commitment to Asian countries through our sponsorship of Rota's ICT Indonesia Program," said Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Obaidly, Manager for Public Relations and Communications of QP. "We firmly believe that quality education using modern technologies is a key driver for human development, economic prosperity, and world-changing innovations," he added
