KUALA TERENGGANU: Should there be a computer illiterate primary school pupil in the country a few years from now, chances are the pupil will not be from Terengganu.
This was the view of Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said who launched the e-Book, the state-sponsored notebook computer, at Dewan Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu in Mengabang Telipot, yesterday.
He said, in the next few years, all primary school pupils in the state would be equipped with e-Books.
Beginning today, 25,000 computers would be distributed to all Year Five pupils in the state through the Education Department.
The e-Book is installed with not only a complete school syllabus but also religious study programmes, such as Muqaddam and Quran.
Ahmad said 3,800 Year Five teachers would also be receiving e-Books and proper training on how to use the computers in the classroom.
“I have been told that by the middle of next month most Year Five classes in the state will be ready to start using their e-Books, which is powered by an Intel Atom processor and 512MB of RAM and a 4GB hard disk drive.
“The best thing with the e-Book, which weighs only 1.1kg, is that pupils no longer need to carry heavy textbook-filled schoolbags on their backs every day to school,” he said.
