The Councillor for
Education and Culture of the
Balearic Government went
to Galicia last week to meet the Councillor for
Education and University
Planning of the
Xunta of Galicia, Celso Currás. They signed an
agreement for the cession of the right of use and transformation of the
Project
SIEGA (System of Information of Gallician Education) and the
corresponding computer applications, by the Xunta to the Balearic
Government.
SIEGA is a complete system for educational administration to convert
information into knowledge, developed for several years by the Council
for Education and University Planning of the Xunta, with the aim to
obtain complete integration of the Gallician educational system into the
Society of Information.
According to the Councillor for Education and Culture of the Balearic
Government the introduction of a computer application for the integral
administration of education centres will enable all public centres in
the Balearics to have a common computer application. Via Internet, they
will exchange information with the central services of the Council so
that this will simplify the administration and the process of
exploitation of the data. The communication between centres and central
services will use the electronic mail as a basic channel.
The programme that the Xunta is ceding via the signing of the agreement
will be adapted by the Balearic Council to the Balearic educational
system. It is expected that the primary centres will have the adapted
application by the second half of 2000.
