2000th Computer Given Away
Two thousand recycled computers have been given to families living in the East Coast.Project Rorohiko started two years ago and there are computers for one in three to four students in East Coast, Gisborne and Wairoa schools.
This week Education Minister Trevor Mallard and Economic Development Minister Jim Anderton celebrated the delivery of the 2000th recycled government computer. Jim Anderton said helping schools and communities develop communications technologies was identified by the Tairäwhiti Development Taskforce as vital for future economic development in these areas.
Project Rorohiko has been jointly funded by Ministry of Education, Te Puni Kokiri and Ministry of Economic Development, at a cost of $3.9 million.
Project Rorohiko also funds Learning Technology Facilitators (LTFs) who help teachers and students make the most of the technology, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
With the turning on of the 2000th computer the project was successfully and offically ended.
