A computer teacher employed in a government school in Samayanallur in Madurai district: |

“In government schools even students in the 12th grade who opt for computer science are not permitted to use the computer for more than half an hour in a week. In the BHF project, students from the 6th grade onwards are using computers for 2 hours every week with personal care and attention. The learning process is therefore effective”. |
