All rural schools to be connected to the Internet and phone lines by the end of the year

According to the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Education, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, at a social gathering said: "We have a special focus on schools to make them have audio and visual equipments and technology. The law enforces us to provide free access to the population of under 20,000 students, in this regard all schools in the rural areas will be connected to the Internet and phone lines by the end of this year.

In the rural areas where Internet speed is low or there is a problem with communication and signal coverage, after three months, the problem will be resolved. Currently the Internet bandwidth in Asalouyeh is 25MB, more than its province's average. Although the province has some communication problems, but it has reached the eighth place in terms of communications."

He added that we are faceing problems on passes and issuance of license in apecial areas, we also have problems with traffic and licensing in the special areas. Another problem is that we have difficulty acquiring and accessing lands to install facilities, if these problems are solved, we can provide better facilities. The problems of the Telecommunication Office will be solved by analyzing the infrastructures, and requirements."
