Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In July 2013, under the project name "China Computers for Schools," the Chinese Government donated netbook computers over a 2-3 year period to the Cook Islands Ministry of Education. In total, China donated 130 netbook computers worth NZ $150,000. The purpose of this 3-year project was to increase IT capacity in curriculum delivery in Pa Enua schools. According to "Netbooks for the north," the project was funded by an NZ $150,000 donation from Tan Siu Lin Foundation, which is a branch of Luen Thai Holdings Ltd. The project has no formal agreement in place: it is a goodwill gesture of anticipated contribution negotiated through Minister of Education and diplomatic discussions with China government. The first 20 of the computers were handed over on March 19th, 2013. The project is expected to end in June 2016.
