teachers and doing nothing unless hoping fully to the teachers. This means,
they do not give full cooperation to the teachers and the learning process is
not going smoothly.

work so that they can upgrade their life and provide the better environment to
their children. They think this Smart School program is the work for
government as well as teachers. Therefore, some of the parents cannot afford
to provide computers for their children. So, the students do not have the
opportunity to practice the ICT knowledge that they have gained.

Education to implement innovations to achieve the highest standards in education

the nationwide expansion of the Smart School will require certain move such as a
long-term implementation plan for the period 2005-2020 will set performance targets
that will have to be met by the major players.
The plan would have to get the approval and fully backing of the government in
terms of its commitments to the goals of the Smart Schools. Obviously there is a
need to learn from successful existing and ongoing projects around the world and
then merge this learning with unique local requirements to create something that is
beyond and more advanced. The challenges ahead is a great one, but the rewards
will be just as great.
