TECHNICAL TRAINING WORKSHOP HELD (7-11) Jan 2008 AT NALINYA LWANTALE GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL, LUWERO
In order to reduce the computer downtimes and to technically sustain the computers in the 15 project schools, SchoolNet Uganda in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports organized a 5-day basic technical course in computer maintenance & troubleshooting and Networking for 15 of the schools participating in the Inspiring Science Education for Girls using ICT project. Each of the selected 15 project schools sent one teacher and one student to the training. The
teacher and the student trained at each school will form the core school technical support team. This technical support team will be responsible for the 1st level technical support at each project school. The core technical team is expected to cascade the training at each project school. In addition, such a trained team will be able to report technical problem correctly to SchoolNet Uganda for remote technical support and assistance.
