First virtual classroom of Maldives has been launched. The project was implemented with the assistance of the World Bank.

The classroom can be connected to various other classrooms around the world. Since there are few students in some schools of the Maldives, this will help to connect them to quality teachers in other parts of the country. Students will no longer have to travel to other islands for studies.

Speaking at the ceremony held to launch the classroom, Education Minister Dr.Aishath Shiham said that there are 9 schools in the Maldives where the total number of student population is below 50. She said that today these schools have been connected to Iskandar School.
