Peru to join “One Laptop per Child” project

Peruvian Education Minister Jose Antonio Chang said yesterday that Peru is about to join the “One Laptop per Child” project which would provide $100 laptop computers to schoolchildren. The plan- which is run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology- has been successful in other countries in the Americas such as Brazil and Argentina.

    A little too early to call it a success don't you think? They just started arriving there a couple of months ago. Uruguay is also participating...

    Perhaps it's a bit presumptous (sp), but so far the program has gone well based on the articles discussing the program.
