The One Laptop Per Child in Romania initiative – presentations and discussions. Liviu Pop
The presentation “The One Laptop Per Child in Romania initiative” referred to the OLPC project initiated by Nicolas Negroponte, project that proposes a revolutionary educational alternative, destined for the third world countries but not exclusively. Even if the laptop designed by the MIT representative seems modest compared to the technical standards of the latest information technologies, still it could represent a radical improvement of the Romanian education system. The story of the initial agreement and its ultimate demise by Romanian politicians shouldn’t be the last chapter of OLPC project in this country, but rather the beginning of a serious debate about a real modernization of the education system in Romania.
