Background

The Computer T raining Center was inspired by John Mary's personal experience of attending rural schools where students have no access to computers or any form of information technology.  It often happens that even the teachers do not have enough academic resources to help them make good lesson plans. This hinders their ability to do research and thus results in poor academic standards of the schools. In the long run, it is the students who suffer the effects--often manifested in poor performances at national level. Students in rural schools are disadvantaged because they can not academically compete with their counterparts in city schools who have access to good academic resources. These schools also have a hard time recruiting well-trained teachers due a number of reasons: most teachers are hesitant to teacher rural schools; the communities served are poor and thus the salaries are low; and also lack or academic resources
