<DIV>Dear Marc,</DIV>
<DIV>We are also planning to get XO laptops (with Windows & Office) in our
school, which is in Fatehpur district, about 80 km from Kanpur. We have
grades 6-12 (Hindi medium) and can provide living quarters to the teachers.The
principal and one computer teacher live on campus, however, their salaries are
low (Rs. 3000-3500), as the tuition we charge ranges between Rs. 50-100/mo
only.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What salary does your school pay to computer teachers? Can we get any
teachers from south to teach at our school. We are also planning to give a
"Certificate in Computers" to those who pass high school (grade 10) and
Intermediate (grade 12) and additional vocational computer courses, to
community youth. However, getting qualified teachers is a major hurdle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Will greatly appreciate any help & advise.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks ........... Sheel Thakur</DIV>
