Mumbai: Intel Corporation chairman Craig Barrett today announced in Davos, his company''s plans to increase training in the use of technology for an additional 10 million teachers in developing nations over the next five years. The plan significantly expands the Intel 'teach to the future' initiative, which the company claims has already trained over three million teachers in 35 countries since 2000.

As part of the expanded programme, Intel also announced that it would donate 100,000 PCs to classrooms in developing nations in order to improve learning skills. The new effort supplements the $100 million annual commitment by Intel to improve education world-wide.

"All governments face the same challenge: to provide their citizens with the opportunity to succeed in the global economy," says Barrett. "Increasingly, that success is linked to the quality of education. Only by putting the tools and training in place to empower teachers can we truly affect learning and the development of skills. Through our increased efforts, we have the potential to reach a billion students in developing nations by the end of 2010."
