Smart Schools Network
Background
Since its initiation in 2003, the pilot project has expanded to 38 public and experimental schools, throughout 12 of the 26 governorates in Egypt.
The initiative introduces new methods of pedagogy and administration using ICT in order to raise educational standards and promote "computer literacy" amongst Egyptian students attending preparatory school.
The SSN is the first integrated move towards a comprehensive modernization plan for the Egyptian Schooling system. The project will eventually expand to 50 public schools in Egypt and hopes to become the standard model for preparatory school education (levels 7-9) in Egypt.
