Chandigarh is all set to impart free computer and information technology (IT) education in all government schools from the coming academic year, a senior official said Monday.
Students from Class 1 to 10 in all government schools of the city would have free computer education to prepare them for various competitions, said Home and Education Secretary Krishna Mohan.
The program would commence from the 2007-08 academic session beginning in April. While it would be a compulsory subject for all classes till Class 10, it will be optional for Classes 11 and 12.
There are over 100 government schools in the city with 100,000 students. The administration has already invited tenders from private computer service organizations to provide education.
Officials said the compulsory computer education would prepare students, especially those keen on joining the IT sector. Several companies like Infosys have set up campuses in the IT park here.
