propagandizing to their people to understand about
benefit of IT and prepare young generation with skills
to be able to compete in the labour market in knowledge

IT knowledges, skills and providing equipments to help

impart the IT skills and knowledge to students and apply
IT in schools. They will help students to improve skills
of using IT in particular and in academic in general. 11
schools having difficult conditions in Vietnam will
