The AP (11/16) reports, "North Carolina is on track to become the first state offering Microsoft computer training in every high school." The Microsoft IT Academy will allow high school students "to earn certification as a Microsoft Office Specialist or a Microsoft Certified Professional by completing the academy's coursework and passing exams." Beginning in January, the program will be tested in 20 school districts throughout the state. WFMY-TV Greensboro (11/16) notes that "state school officials expect all of the state's 628 public high schools to participate beginning next fall."
North Carolina's News & Observer (11/16) reports that the fully implemented program "will allow the state to offer the information technology courses in all public high schools. Course material will be available to students when they log on to computers at home, in public libraries, or community centers."
