Makedonski Telekom has rounded up the donation for support of the Government project "Computer for Every Student" with a donation of electronic interactive boards that will be used by 66 schools in Macedonia. The donation is in the amount of EUR 165,000, and the total donation of Makedonski Telekom for this project for promotion of the education is in the amount of EUR 3 million. This is a long-term donation, both in terms of its scope and in terms of the long-term benefit it will bring to the next generations, and it consists of the following: provision of a computer network in 93 schools throughout Macedonia (2007/2008); provision of a computer network in dormitories (2009/2010) and the latest donation of interactive boards to 66 primary and secondary schools.

“Makedonski Telekom has a moral obligation, as one of the most successful companies in the country, to give something back, i.e. to invest in the society in which it is achieving its success, and in that regard, the investment in the education of children is just the right type of investment. This donation will have visible effects on the long run, and it will be beneficial to entire generations of students. This is a project that will make a real difference in terms of the promotion of the education throughout Macedonia and we, Makedonski Telekom, are proud to have contributed to it” – said Mr. Daniel Szasz, the Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom.

“The interactive boards can fully replace the classic way of teaching which entailed writing on the old green boards with chalks. The advantage of this device compared to the conventional boards is that the interactive board can function as a computer touch screen. The interactive boards were allocated to 66 schools from across the country, and the training for their usage was attended by about 130 teachers. I urge all the teachers to use these boards because with them the students with learn the curriculum more easily, which will improve the quality and the success of teaching" - said Mr. Pance Kralev, Minister of Education and Science.

Makedonski Telekom is committed to the support and promotion of the education through projects that have a long-term benefit and a positive influence on as many citizens as possible. The cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science and the project “Computer for Every Student" is a proof that the business sector, in cooperation with the Governmental institutions, can make a real difference in terms of the promotion of the education, which is one of the key pillars of the society.
