OSAKA -- A rare collaboration of the central and local governments and a nonprofit organization is promoting computer education here for the disabled.
In January, the Osaka Prefectural Government entrusted Prop Station, an Osaka-based NPO, with a two-year project to improve computer education at 25 prefectural-run "yogo gakko," or schools for disabled children. The state has granted some 30 million yen to finance the project.
Prop Station members have already visited all the schools to grasp the nature of their computer education and will compile an assessment report by the end of this month.
