We want the president to inaugurate the Virtual Classroom Technology on Edusat for Rural Schools (VICTERS). This ambitious programme will be a leapfrog in harnessing computer for universal education, said Education Minister ET Mohammed Basheer on Monday.
The VICTERS will get technical assistance from ISRO, which will provide 10 satellite interactive centres and train teachers. Plan is to set up Edusat centres in 50 government schools of Wynad, Palakkad and Malappuram.
Training centre will be the priority. This task is undertaken by the ISRO, Basheer said. The state government has submitted to the Centre a Rs 120 Crore computer education project.
