| Intel to train 1mn Indian teachers | | | New Delhi | November 04
Intel is chipping in with its own recipe for inclusive growth in India by planning to train one million Indian teachers in the next two years.
The company's agenda for achieving inclusive, quality growth in India includes high-class educational training, idea generation for research and development and a conducive environment for setting up new companies.
Speaking at the Digital Leaders Forum organised by Confederation of Indian Industry, Craig Barrett, chairman of Intel, said, "We will expand our Indian chapter of the Intel Learn Programme, a worldwide initiative to help classroom teachers learn how best to use technology to improve teaching and learning. We aim to train a million teachers by the end of 2008."
Nearly 6,00,000 teachers globally have been trained under the programme. Intel's World Ahead Programme drives digital inclusion in emerging countries focusing on accessibility, connectivity, content and education.
Among the solutions Intel is betting on are expanding wireless broadband Internet access by cultivating the required ecosystems and encouraging deployment including the broad promotion of WiMAX trials.
"It is important to create opportunities for widespread ownership and shared access of personal computers through affordability, access and content including the development of fully featured, affordable PCs tailored to local needs," Barrett said.
