SOUL ACHIEVEMENTS
Female Education,
Assessment of Internet for Yemen High
Schools (2005-2006)
Education Development Center (EDC)
(EDC) furnished 10 schools in Sana’a and Aden governorates with computer
laps, and trained 50 teacher in these schools in different fields
including basic applications, modern methods of teaching and joining the
international electronic networks. After the training, the trainees
would transfer what they learnt to the teaching staff at the target
schools.
SOUL's role in this project is to assess and measure high school
students’ and teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward using
the internet in raising the competency of learning process in the target
schools (five schools at Sana’a city and other five in Aden governorate)
"Training Computer Lab Unit" Project (2002-2005)
(SOUL & YDF)
The Yemeni Foundation Development (YDF) provided SOUL with 10
computers in order to establish a Computer and Internet Lab at Soul's
headquarters. The lab was specifically created for women computer
literacy, and for students, predominantly females, for whom social and
cultural norms often make it difficult for them to have access to
computers. Some of the courses that were provided by the unit were
offered with a small amount of money. SOUL also used the lab to hold
training courses for other local NGOs to learn the basic skills in
computing in order to strengthen the relation ships between them.
