Sun provided technology as
part of its education grants and donations program. The equipment will
be used to create an ICT training facility, specifically aimed at female
students, and to establish a central Distance Learning facility at the
university which will accommodate students from Uzbekistan and
neighbouring countries, assisting with Information Computing Technology
(ICT) skills development using Sun's web-based and instructor-led courses.
The first stage of Sun's work with TUIT includes an Academic Excellence
Grant of equipment to the University which will be used to train a
special technology task force with Sun technologies and is fully funded
by Sun donations. The second stage will include a matching grant where
Sun has donated goods of the equivalent value to those purchased by
TUIT. The University will also participate in the Sun Academic
Initiative which offers free training courses to certify students with
ICT skills. The second stage of the relationship will also see the
finalisation of the Distance Learning Centre, along with the creation of
three remote laboratories in Tashkent, Buchara and Samarkand.
