Singapore, 15 September, 2014 – NEC Asia Pacific, a leading IT and network solutions provider based in Singapore, and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation, has partnered KDDI Singapore Pte Ltd, a subsidiary company of KDDI Corporation, in a computer upgrading project for The Japanese School Singapore’s Changi and Clementi campuses.

NEC Asia Pacific, together with KDDI Singapore will replace existing student computers with NEC’s notebooks. The project is aimed to support The Japanese School Singapore’s focus on ICT learning across the primary and junior high levels. Primary school students utilize computers in a variety of subjects like English, Japanese, Math and Science for approximately 30 to 40 hours per year. The school also promotes the development of computer literacy and the effective use of computers in all subjects for junior high students.

“Our school’s ICT program is one of our main focuses as we incorporate computer lessons as part of the curriculum. With the new notebooks from NEC, lessons can be conducted in a smoother and more efficient manner as well as facilitate better research and group reports among our students. We are glad to be working with NEC Asia Pacific and KDDI Singapore on this project,” said Mr Yushin Takahashi of Secretary General of Administration at Japanese School.

With over 30 years as an established provider of high quality IT products, total network solutions and reliable after-sales support to both government organizations and enterprise customers in the Asia Pacific region, NEC Asia Pacific can leverage on this expertise to execute and support the upgrading project for The Japanese School Singapore.

Mr Lim Kok Quee, Managing Director, NEC Asia Pacific, said, “We are delighted to have been given this opportunity to collaborate with KDDI Singapore Pte Ltd as a trusted partner in the provision of NEC’s notebooks to The Japanese School Singapore. We hope that our contribution will benefit and enhance the students’ learning experience.”
