FIFTY-NINE primary schools and 57 secondary schools in Perak have been selected to take part in an information and communications technology (ICT) programme to improve academic achievement in Science and Mathematics subjects.
The programme was launched by state Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology Committee chairman Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
KPerak Inc Corporation has been formed to realise the ICT programme in the state.
Phase 1 of the ICT project includes KPerak's sponsorship of over 150,000 books equipped with e-tutor software, eMaz and eScz to all students and teachers in the selected schools.
The supplementary textbooks from Andaman Publications include titles for Year One to Year Six and Form One to Form Five.
Phase two of the project involves holding UPSR, PMR and SPM workshops for students preparing for the examinations this year. The workshops, to be held across Perak, will be conducted by Andaman Publication academicians this month.
Heading the workshops is The Star columnist for Additional Mathematics and Physics Sunny Yee.
Dr Zambry hoped that the ICT project would expose students in the selected schools to use computers and internet technology.
The Perak Government has allocated RM100mil to enhance ICT development over five years.
