The Cork School Project Information Technology Program

Summary

The school intends to create a computer training facility for the pupils and family members and friends. The training resource would be used to teach computer skills to pupils during school hours. It would also be used to help those members of the community who are marginalised or at risk of being marginalised from the ever increasing use of technology.

The Programme

A special committee will be formed to manage the multimedia computer training facility. This committee will report to the Board of Management.
