ALL JAKARTA HIGH SCHOOLS TO GET INTERNET LINKS IN 2009

Jakarta, Oct 14 (ANTARA) - The provincial administration of Special Capital District (DKI) of Jakarta sets a target to install Internet connection at all senior high schools in 2009, an official said here Tuesday.

"Our target is to install information and communications technology at all schools to facilitate the teachers with multimedia materials," Margani Mustar, Head of Middle and Higher Education Office said after the declaration of Jakarta's Middle and Higher Education Community Based on Information and Communications Technology (TIK).

At present all public senior and vocational high schools have their own Internet facility while only 70 percent of private schools have such facilities.

Cooperating with several sides, the office developed integrated information and communications technology that could be used by the students at school.

The office also prioritizes the supply of the facilities including more than 10 thousand computers for schools, seven thousand laptops for teachers and hot spot services at more than 100 schools.
