Beyond networking over 15,000 schools and documenting their past and present, KITE (Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education) SchoolWiki project plays an important role in the growth of the Malayalam language in digital media, Speaker M.B. Rajesh has said. He was speaking after inaugurating the presentation of SchoolWiki awards here on Friday.
Mr. Rajesh said it was significant that 47 lakh students were being introduced to Malayalam computing as part of school education. SchoolWiki was also capable of bringing to light accurate histories that strengthened democracy.
Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty who presided over the function said SchoolWiki was a means to pass on the State’s history to the next generation. For this reason, schools should pay particular attention to uploading details and updating them accurately.
