Technology For Improved Learning Outcomes _(TILO

Creative Associates International Inc. (CAII), the prime contractor for the
USAID Education Technology for Improved Learning Outcomes project
(TILO), awarded ICS Technologies, Inc. in early December 2008, a
multi-million dollar contract to computerize over 160 schools in
different parts of Egypt. ICS role will be to establish fully
electrical and data networked computer labs in each school, train the
Ministry of Education’s administrators and provide a three-year,
web-based helpdesk warranty services to every school at the different
districts in Egypt. TILO, is a four-year contract to support the
Egyptian Ministry of Education’s reform policy goals to provide
students with the skills and knowledge to compete in a global economy.
The project will build support for computer use in the classroom and
among education officials and communities.
ICS will establish a staging area that will be used to support the quality control activities for all equipment arriving into Egypt.
Equipment will then be configured and be prepared for dispatch to each school according to CAII and the MOE master plan.
The staging facility will also provide the technical and warranty support for all schools during the next three years.
Each computer lab will consist of several computers and printers connected in a Local Area Network,
supported by wireless routers and wireless access points.
Those schools will be the model for the new concept that CAII is
implementing under the TILO program through out Egypt.
