The department of science and education of Primorye notes that Primorye schools are interested in informational support of educational process. Some years ago schools were buying computers on money from Territory budget but recently many educational institutions renew their computer equipment on their own money. Also they buy multimedia projectors and interactive blackboards – everything which helps to increase the quality of educational process.

Last year Primorye started to realize the national project “Education” which foresees modern computer technologies. The program “Development of distance education of physically disabled children” provides accessible and good education for these children. Communication through Internet with their teachers and peers solves the problem of their social adaptation.
