| Connecting to UNITY ..? |
29 July 2007 - NST - Rural schools to ‘get connected’ - JOHOR BARU: The government will provide schools in rural areas with software for pupils to interact online in efforts to promote greater unity. Deputy Education Minister Datuk Hon Choon Kim said 353 schools had been selected for the e-integration pilot project that would begin next month. The programme is in line with the Students Integration Plan for Unity (Rimup). "This will be expanded to 1,000 schools next year," Hon said after attending a Rimup programme that saw pupils from Sekolah Kebangsaan Masai, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (C) Masai and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (T) Masai getting together to perform dikir barat and traditional Chinese dances.Under the e-integration project, pupils from different schools can interact online with each other using the specially-designed software. "The programme is tailored for schools which are unable to form clusters," he said. Schools that have set up clusters in conjunction with Rimup will get an allocation of between RM500 and RM2,000 each. Cluster B consists of pupils from national primary schools and Chinese primary schools; Cluster C is made up of national primary schools and Tamil primary schools; and Cluster D is formed through partnership of Chinese primary and Tamil primary schools.
 Wow, how are they going to interact online? Is there a GIANT screen on each side so that they can see what is happening? People meet, work, learn and interact with each other in a human interaction way .. I am not sure if the software will do the trick. Can we not visit one anothe during the long school breaks ..? Aiyaa .. tak tau lah ..
