Welcome to School in a Box
IADT School in a Box (SIAB) is a new FÍS/IADT Not-For-Profit initiative that addresses the global problem of inequitable access to modern educational tools. Access to Information and Communication Technologies in Education (ICTs) can advance the well-being of rural populations in India and sub Saharan Africa. Seventy per cent of the poorest people in the world live in rural areas where low literacy is common – better education is seen as crucial for achieving advancement and sustainable development. The ability to deliver ICTs in this context has never been easier due to advancements in technologies that enable development of locally driven curricula and access to knowledge repositories via the World Wide Web.
