20 atolls - one learning community
EDC launches 20 Teacher Resource Centres connnected by online communities
The first TRC was built on Nilandhoo
EDC is about to launch 20 Teacher Resource Centres across Maldives to support teachers, parents and children.
There is one TRC in each of the 20 atolls. Each contains computers which are connected to each other using microwave transmitters to provide broadband internet.
To help bring the TRCs together there will be a Teacher Resource website and a Virtual Learning Environment, which will be accessible to teachers when they visit the TRCs.
The TRCs and websites will be launched on 26 November 2007.
