| REASONS OF INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROJECT | The Hellenic Government has initiated several political priorities in the area and our organisation is following some of them. The first Priority Axes of the Operational Program Information Society -Education and Culture is to adapt the educational system to the needs of the digital age and to achieve increased use of new technologies in education, including the networking of schools, universities and the academic community (including administrative services); training teachers and pupils; and developing digital educational content. In addition, ICTs will be used to manage, document and promote Greek culture and civilisation. In accordance with the recommendations of the eEurope 2002 and eEurope 2005 action plans, a cohesive action plan becomes effective, ensuring that all schools have access to the Internet and to multimedia tools. Young people living in the less prosperous parts of the country are at the least ensured access to the IS via public connection points. By the end of the Operational Programme, it is intended that all teachers will be trained in the use of the Internet and multimedia tools, and all graduates of compulsory education will be “computer-literate”. |
