“School Box” is assembled in Georgia, at local factory “Algoritmi”. Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, Dimitri Shashkini has visited the factory today and got introduced to the assemble process. Almost 100 professional employees install special modern system in the boxes. In the following weeks “School Boxes will be distributed to 1500 schools.

With the new academic year, learning and assessment process will be carried out electronically, with the help of School Boxes at schools. Schools, teachers and students will receive information online. The new system will also facilitate tight online relationship amongst schools.
