S. Korean govt donates computers

JAKARTA (JP): The South Korean government has donated 50
computers with photoscanners and digital cameras to a number of
senior high schools in Jakarta and Yogyakarta.

The Ministry of Education said in a statement received by The
Jakarta Post on Tuesday that the donation was provided through
the APEC Cyber Education Network (ACEN), a project of the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) under the South Korean
government.

It said that the Korean government would also donate three
laser jet printers to three senior high schools to use for
computer training.

ACEN, an international organization on education proposed by
the South Korean government, was approved during the 22nd working
group meeting on human resources development last May.

It is aimed at setting up a cyber education network to reduce
the digital divide among APEC member countries.
