At the same time this new access will allow students to gain hands-on-experience on the Internet. The programme, known as Knowledge Aid Sierra Leone, is the initiative of a group of Oxford graduates, who are alumni of the Christi Corpus College from 1950-1953. This Group will be working in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth, Education and Sports to ensure that teachers and students gain valuable experience in using the Internet. The first beneficiaries will include Fourah Bay College, Milton Margai College of Education and Technology, Prince of Wales and St. Helena Secondary schools. The idea is to boost the education system with the same communication tools that are being used by government, the military and some special libraries such as the Bank of Sierra Leone and the British Council. With the introduction of the Internet in educational institutions it is anticipated that teachers will share teaching methods and ideas; students would do cooperative projects; and, everyone would get a taste of what is happening in the computing world....
