Timing Progress description

All necessary equipment for grades 5 through 10 has been delivered according to the standards of Digital Growth. Professional development and counseling on the use of equipment in schools are in full swing.

January 2023 All necessary equipment for grades 5 through 10 has been delivered according to the standards of Digital Growth. Efforts are underway to strengthen the Resource Bank and related development projects about creative and progressive technology.
July 2022 The outcome of the scenario analysis is four different yet powerful scenarios. Scenarios are data-driven stories about the future to make better decisions about the future today. It is an attempt to use a structured approach to envision possible futures and propose theories about future possibilities. These scenarios are not predictions of the most likely future city, but tools to help shape our plans and objectives towards the challenges that may arise. With these scenarios in mind, we can strengthen our resolve and prepare better to achieve our objectives.
