The Irkutsk city administration has been implementing the project to teach computer literacy to elderly people since the fall of 2009. In the first half of 2012, 417 people completed the courses. Assignment to educational institutions is based on the place of residence of the person who signed up for the courses. For example, in the Leninsky District, groups are open on the premises of the Irkutsk Technical School of River and Road Transport.
