Most of the nearly two-billion children in the developing countries do not receive adequate education. Almost one-third do not complete fifth grade. These children need education to improve their quality of life and also the future of their countries. The One Laptop per Child
(OLPC) program, which aims to provide a laptop to every child in developing countries, is a step towards this direction. The OLPC program is based on the understanding that only education will give these children an opportunity to transform their lives and contribute to their countries’ growth. As the OLPC official website puts it “It’s not a laptop project. It’s an education project”.
