April 2000


Update: Poland

In the last quarter, January - March 2000, the substantial increase has been noted in a number of web-sites in the regional and local authorities and in secondary schools.

By the Project, "Internet classrooms in each commune" over 2000 primary and high-schools have been equipped with computers with Internet access and education software. As a following " Internet classrooms in each high-schools" programme (April 1999-September 2000) has been established for 3200 high-schools. In addition the project called "Interkl@sa " gathered by the Ministry of National Education, the Parliamentary Commission for Education, Science and Youth, NGOs, private companies and media has started. As a result of a program of development of computer and telecommunication infrastructure in schools, including less developed and rural areas the estimated number of school web sites has increased.

The permanent increase of web sites conducted by public administration is a function of implementation of IS services for citizens. Such web sites range from simple lists of contact addresses to sophisticated GIS based interactive services. A lot of them include opportunities for foreign and domestic investors and tourist information. Such web sites are local fora for awareness on information society issues as well.
