The first of its kind for the Mongolian educational sector, this Centre incorporates both English and local language text, providing electronic learning resources to teachers and students. Three pilot schools have created their web pages and linked to the Knowledge Web Centre. A special daily schedule of Internet surfing for teachers and pupils has been set up, as well as regular updates on current resources they can access on the web. One school is publishing a school newspaper using information from Internet. Within the project, Mongolian secondary schools are connected to the Internet, enabling students to participate I*EARN and Think Quest projects, establish new contacts, widen their knowledge of the world and to work on collaborative projects with similar schools. - Education: Mongolia
