Intel donates more computers

Intel Sri Lanka together with the Education Ministry signed an Addendum for the donation of an additional 100 Classmate PCs to the World Ahead Program.

This addendum is a continuation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2008 for the donation of 500 PCs to be set up across the country with Internet access, digital content, and other activities.

Through this programme, Intel works to implement an effective eLearning environment that prepares students for success in a changing world.
