Background:

For education purpose, this is no doubt an indispensable tool that should not only be deployed in tertiary institutions but more importantly at the foundation levels – primary and secondary schools.It is with a mind to address this important need that ITAN is refocusing on its earlier initiative – Computer In School Initiative (OS-CISI), first launched in 2001 but now rebranded and relaunched as Old Students Computer In School Initiative (OS-CISI). The idea of mobilizing Old Students to be at the vanguard of this initiative is the reality that has dawn on everyone that government alone cannot do it all.

Therefore, under the OS-CISI, partnership is solicited across the entire spectrum of the Nigerian entity to include the Federal Government, the State Governments, the Local Government, Corporate organizations, Multinationals,NGOs, CEOs, well meaning Nigerians who once experienced primary and secondary education and would like to effect a difference for future generations. This initiative is projected to be executed in three phases over a period of 7 years (2008 – 2015) and it is to deliver more than 1,000,000 PCs (fairly used/brand new) during the period.
