The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia’s Ministry of National Education to run a classroom that utilizes information and communications technology at a teacher training institute in Indonesia.

The ministry here concluded agreements with countries looking to develop their education IT, and Columbia was the first to sign an MOU in July.
