“An education project, not a laptop project…
…children are our mission, not our market.”

OLPC MISSION: develop and distribute a robust,low-cost laptop that can transform how we educate the world's children.

One Laptop per Child• Global non-profit association• MIT Media Lab• First project in Senegal in 1982• XO laptop launched in 2005. • First XO deployment Feb ‘07• Mass production Nov ’07• 1.2m units produced• Projects in 31 countries
in 19 languages

One Laptop per Child
OLPC Foundation• advocacy for 1-to-1 computing and joyful learning• using grassroots technology for education in
developing countries• champion for children
OLPC Association• Develops and manufactures
the XO laptop • services deployment

• Children lack opportunity not capability• Learning to learn; learning by doing • Inquiry beyond school, school hours• Reaching the poorest, most isolated kids• Using ICT to learn, not learning to use ICT!
a child-centred approach
![Page 8: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Five core principles
1. child ownership*2. low ages3. saturation4. connection5. free & open source* In the Pacific,
child is custodian

The Pacific
• World’s largest ocean – stretching from pole to pole• 46% of Earth's water surface • 32% of Earth's total surface area• Larger than all of the Earth's land area combined.• approx. 25,000 islands
![Page 10: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pacific challenges• Poverty: 6 Least Developed Countries (LDCs) -- Kiribati,
Samoa, Solomon Is., Tuvalu, Vanuatu and PNG. • Globalization, natural and human- made disasters, food
security, rapid population growth and increasing rates of urbanization
• Climate change -- PICs less than 0.5% global emissions, yet 3 X more vulnerable to CC(IPCC)
• Impacts on the environment esp. depleted fish stocks• Protection of indigenous language, culture and practices,
local markets and livelihoods, communities and families • Fragile states, governance, weak capacity
![Page 11: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pacific education• c. 1.7m children aged 6-12• 40% 6-12yos attend no school• Church sector has significant skills and capacity• Movement to preserve indigenous languages
– PNG: over 830 languages, inc. English and two lingua francas, Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu.
– 435 languages used for initial education, in 1980 just two in Bougainville (North Solomons)
• Pacific-wide trend to emerging level of formal education called “elementary” – years 1-3 taught in the vernacular
![Page 12: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One Laptop per Pacific Child
• Focus on partnership• Empowerment of communities• Country-led national programmes• Regional coord & tech assistance• Country-to-country exchange• Collaborative, inclusive approach
![Page 13: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Global and Pacific Policy FrameworkIn the Pacific, OLPC is guided by several core policy touchstones:• 1990 Convention on the Rights of the Child• 2000 Education for All (UNESCO)• 2000 Millennium Development Goals
– MDG 1 – poverty and hunger– MDG 2 – universal primary education– MDG 3 – gender equality– MDG 8 – partnership for development
• 2005 Tunis Commitment to bridge the digital divide, WSIS• 2005 Pacific Aid Effectiveness Principles• 2005-14 UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development• 2005, 2007 Pacific Plan, Pacific Islands Forum• 2007 Pacific Regional Digital Strategy• 2007 PIF Leaders’ Communiqué• 2007 Cape Town Open Education Declaration

‘Every PACRICS site is an OLPC hub’
• RICS provides the broad infrastructure to facilitate at-scale OLPC rollout in remote contexts.
• Orders for 200 RICS sites
• Approx 400 kids per site
• ADB-funded for 5 years

2008 Pilot Phase: lessons learned
• OLPC adds value for children, communities, countries• OLPC aligns with Pacific goals and plans, inc. MDGs• Country-level demand, political and community
support in the Pacific• Small trials provide an insufficient evidence base • M&E should be integrated at the outset• Broader-based TA needed to build country capacity• A standing stock of XO laptops and peripherals should
be centrally kept in the region to efficiently feed trials (“Pacific Pool”)
![Page 26: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2008 Pilot Phase: outputs
1. Country-led, region-wide demand2. Technical Working Group3. Pacific Country Program model4. Community Consultation Guidelines5. OLPC Pacific Pool

Pacific Country Program modelDeveloped by TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP from lessons learned from pilots:• Country Program Plan
– Goals– Team/Governance/Coordination– Needs Assessment/Analysis– Implementation– M&E activities– Resource mobilisation
• Rollout – must proceed with entire school populations (no students excluded)– should address priority needs of children and communities– should be coordinated across the whole of government
• First deployment is highly strategic and must involve key personnel:– Training of trainers– Local IT deployment specialists– Teachers and other key edu. Staff inc. inspectors and M&E specialists
• Community engagement program• M&E framework• Designated TWG Focal Point, National Core Team
![Page 29: OLPC Oceania Overview Nov09](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54d5901b4a7959b6538b45c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Coord Model: National Core TeamCross-cutting “whole of government” approach • Cabinet sub-committee, led at Ministerial level• Reports to National Planning Committee• Workplan developed at Dept Secretary level• Five core sub-teams...

Pacific model: vernacular edu
• OLPC strengthens this movement and protects local languages
• Cf: XO in Kosrae in FSM– First deployed to Years 4-6 in English– Older kids adapt XO to Kosrean– Then deployed to years 1-3 in vernacular
• This model scalable across Pacific
