How do some schools manage to purchase computers which are expensive and have high maintenance costs?
A few schools are located in wealthy communities where parent-teacher groups can raise large sums of money relatively easily. However, some other schools in the middle to lower socio-economic areas have managed to achieve similar levels of accomplishment in establishing computer and other facilities in their schools. Two examples are SMU 2 Wonosari in Central Java and SMU 23 in Bandung, West Java. Their initial approaches to school development were similar but different. They both managed their success by cooperating and working together with their communities. However, SMU 2 in Wonosari relied mainly upon its determination and the development of its staff’s skills, while SMU 23 in Bandung initiated its programs by taking a very entrepreneurial role and achieving community sponsorship. Regardless of what approach your school might decide to take the important points are that your school has clear objectives, is pro-active in communicating those objectives and benefits to your community
