Libya could become the first country to provide every school-age child
with a laptop computer and internet connection under a scheme supported
by the UN Development Programme.
In a =A3134m deal with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), an American
non-profit group, Libya will acquire 1.2m computers with internet
connection.
The deal, reported by the New York Times yesterday, follows a visit by
computer scientist Nicholas Negroponte to Colonel Muammar Gadafy last
August.
Mr Negroponte, who founded the Media Lab at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, is chairman of OLPC, which aims to provide laptops for
children in developing countries that cost $100 (=A354) each. The
specially designed laptops will have a rugged case and a sealed rubber
keyboard to keep out dust and water.
