VIN Programme
Majority (more than 90%) of the public schools do not have access to computer. Very few public schools have newly introduced Information Technology (IT) with limited computers. This access is only in the cities; not in the village due to lack of electricity. The schools that have computers they don't have experienced and qualified IT teachers as Nepal has just began to provide IT education. IT volunteers will teach information technology to school children.
