Saudi Telecom Company (STC) has put in place networking interconnection (IP/VPN) service for the buildings and utilities related to the Ministry of Education across the Kingdom, a press statement of the company said here Sunday. Minister of Education Prince Faisal Bin Abdullah, accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Education Dr. Khalid Bin Abdullah, Supervisor General of IT at the Ministry Dr. Jarallah Al-Ghamdi and a host of other officials, visited the STC's office at the Ministry. The system would enable schools to be connected remotely via V-SAT to gain access with the Ministry's headquarters (DATA CENTER) to access information and note the markings through the Ministry's program (Nour-Faris). The Minister lauded STC's role to provide the Ministry with distinct services, thus contributing to the positive overhaul of the Ministry projects. He said more efforts should be exerted to connect all Ministry's sites and schools with FIBER service to enable the Ministry to promote education, more broadly and rapidly.
