It is an endeavour to support the Malaysian Government in its effort to expand and strengthen the K-Society and the K-Economy and to revamp the educational system to respond to the knowledge-driven demands of the new economy. The Project envisages the facility set up at selected schools will serve as a school/community "ICT hub" providing access to ICT training to other schools as well as communities in the vicinity.

Objectives
