Honduras for Internet in
Schools
Honduran authorities are
working on a plan by
Honduran President
Manuel Zelaya for public
primary schools to have
Internet access.
Representatives of the
Honduran Enterprise of
Telecommunications (HONDUTEL)
and the Honduran Science
and Technology Council (COHCIT)
are working together to
foster and apply
Zelaya´s proposal, which
was a part of his
electoral campaign.
The manager of HONDUTEL
Jorge Rosa, explained
that in the plan that is
part of the project "Aprende"
led by COHCIT, there is
also a participation by
the Ministry of
Education and the
National Commission of
Telecommunications.
In the 17,500
educational centers, of
which 30 percent are
private schools, most
with internet available.
The proposal wants to
reduce the disadvantages
of the students in
educational and public
institutions in relation
with the private ones.
Zelaya has reiterated
that the only way to
overcome backwardness in
Honduras is by preparing
youth.
When he took office as
President, Zelaya
promised that all public
schools would have
computers.
