📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom acted as a partner of the computer all-round championship among pensioners of the Saratov region. The tournament involved 35 people who had completed digital literacy courses.
The championship participants demonstrated their skills in search engines and in the personal account of the Social Fund of Russia, and also passed a test on cybersecurity. Rostelecom prepared questions on information security. The contestants had to distinguish a fake site from a real one, choose a reliable password and indicate what to do if they receive suspicious messages.
Pavel Zenkov, Director of the Saratov branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
"Most of the tournament participants completed the tasks, proving that digital technologies can be mastered at any age. To acquire the skills, some attended in-person classes, while others used the online manual "ABCs of the Internet", specially developed by Rostelecom and the Social Fund of Russia for older people. The portal makes it easy to find advice on how to receive a government service, purchase goods online, plan a route, or book a hotel."
One of the championship finalists, 62-year-old Igor Morozov from the Balakovo boarding school, completed computer courses and now continues his education using video lessons.
Igor Morozov:
"Participating in the tournament is an opportunity for me to test myself. Learning how to work on a computer was interesting - it is always useful to learn something new. I am interested in technology and help everyone set up gadgets. If a question arises, I quickly find tips and video instructions on the Internet."
Rostelecom presented prizes to the winners of the tournament and gave all participants of the competition a new edition of "ABCs of the Internet. Basics of Working on a Smartphone". The book explains how to install a SIM card and configure the gadget to suit your needs, how to use e-mail, instant messengers and cloud storage.
