Institute for Correctional Studies (ICOST) in collaboration with Centre for Information Technology Management (CITM) has today started Computer Office Package Level 2 course for inmates at Maafushi Prison.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Assistant superintendent of Prisons Abdulla Ameen said that it is fortunate that inmates can get the opportunity to receive an education while serving their sentences and all inmates should fully-seize such opportunities.
The 20 participants of the Course are graduates from the Computer Office Package Level 1 course held last year. The classes are intended to proceed in two groups of 10 and will complete in four months.
Executive Director of ICOST Chief Prisons Officer Ahmed Riza said that the Computer Office Package Level 2 course will be conducted exclusively by ICOST without any collaboration and currently ICOST is in the process of getting accreditation from Maldives Qualification Authority for three additional computer courses.
