Intel Corporation and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) agreed to collaborate on the development of a model curriculum or syllabus to improve the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in the classroom and to set standards to improve the quality of ICT teacher training programs.

UNESCO, in cooperation with Intel, will develop a syllabus, which sets the standards of ICT knowledge and skills in this area. The syllabus could then be used to design training content. Both organizations will also collaborate on the development of a mechanism by which course providers, educational policy-makers and teachers can refer to the syllabus to ascertain that course content and training programs meet the requisite standard.

UNESCO chose to work with Intel, because of Intel's extensive experience training teachers on the use of technology and on helping them to integrate the technology into lesson plans. Through the Intel Teach to the Future program, Intel has trained 2 million teachers around the world.

Intel's work with UNESCO is part of the Intel Innovation in Education initiative, a sustained commitment - in collaboration with educators and government leaders worldwide - to help today's students prepare for the demands of tomorrow. Intel is focused on helping to integrate technology effectively into the education process and to helping improve science, mathematics, engineering and technology education.
