📋 Tender Overview
With the highest life expectancy of Brazilians, including the elderly population in technological evolutions is one of the goals of the federal government. Performed by the Ministry of Communications, the Computers for Inclusion Program formed this July, in Recife (PE), more basic computer classes focused on the elderly.
To bring devices and digital literacy to our best age audience is to allow access to new technologies, ensure greater autonomy and fundamental rights. Our program seeks to be this agent of social transformations, said Frederico de Siqueira Filho, Minister of Communications.
With the partnership of IEC Brasil, which acts as one of the computer reconditioning centers of the Ministry of Communications, the courses were taught at the Altino Foundation and the Paulo Freire Community Center (Compaz). In all, more than 60 elderly people aged 60 to 85 years were trained for new technologies.
Thanks to everyone for the patience to teach us, me, an 82 -year -old teenager. This diploma is not only mine, is the teacher. To thank our Lord Jesus Christ for giving us wisdom for us to complete this course, was moved by the student, Francisca Soares Marinho.
About the program
In addition to recovering electronic equipment from public agencies and banks, the program enables young people, adults and elderly with basic computer courses and computer maintenance, providing the qualification of these people for the job market and greater autonomy in the digital world.
All compromised computers are later donated to associations with digital inclusion projects, indigenous villages, quilombola territories and remote and rural areas of the country.
Equipment that cannot be reused undergo an environmentally appropriate disposal process, ensuring that there is no damage to the environment.
