Projects

  • School Net Community for Iranian Schools
    SchoolNet has made it possible for schools and cultural institutions to connect to the Internet. Moreover, the central intranet at SchoolNet facilitates their access to the educational resources on the web. To date, SchoolNet has helped to provide computer equipment and facilities for over 100 schools in the country, while developing a database for the educational and research institutions.

  • Shakooh: The First Iranian Village on Internet
    While the first computer in this new computer centre was purchased with money raised by villagers, a government grant paid for a second and several more came courtesy of a charity formed by Iranians in London. Villagers who know about computers volunteer as teachers in the centre, set up in a local mosque. Classes are free. The village even has its own Farsi-language Web site, Shahkooh.com.

  • The Science and Arts Foundation: Providing Links to ICT and Education in Iran
    The Science and Arts Foundation, or SAF, was founded in March of 1999 by Dr. Abbas Edalat of London’s Imperial College with the aim to eliminate the gap in ICT between developed and developing nations. With the help of the foundation’s executive director in Iran, Dr. Yahya Tabesh, Director of Sharif University’s Computing Center, SAF set out to bring unprecedented change in Iran’s educational system through the introduction and development of ICT training.
