[QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [QB] Use our pull-down menus to find more stories South Africa: First Schools Get Connected to a New World of Learning Email This Page Print This Page Business Day (Johannesburg) May 4, 2006 Posted to the web May 4, 2006 Lesley Stones Johannesburg TWO secondary schools have become the first in SA to join an electronic network of 24 African schools with access to world-class learning material. Ipetleng Secondary School in Free State and Thozamisa Secondary School in Eastern Cape have been connected by the Oracle Consortium under the e-Schools initiative, supported by the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad). The initiative is designed to upgrade all of Africa's secondary schools over the next 10 years by providing them with information and communications technology hardware, software and content, and by training teachers to use the new facilities. The consortium consists of 14 companies contributing various components of a hi-tech educational system to schools in remote areas that lack such facilities. Oracle, which heads the consortium, installs the equipment, trains the teachers and supplies technical support. Other members include Mustek and Fujitsu Siemens, which supply computers. Satellite connection and internet access is supplied by Sentech, and MultiChoice Africa installs DStv equipment. Xerox provides printers, copiers, faxes and scanners. Schools from seven countries stand to benefit from the initiative. SA is the fourth country to go online under the programme after Ghana, Lesotho and Kenya. Mali, Gabon and Egypt will follow in the near future. Programme manager Sanjoe Maharaj said that the schools were already seeing benefits by accessing learning material such as television programmes and specialist tutorials. Schools were also using the photocopiers, printers and software to build databases to monitor student progress and improve their administration procedures, he said.

The e-Schools initiative is still in its early stages, with Nepad establishing and monitoring six e-Schools in each of 16 countries. Through feedback, Nepad will be able to determine which technologies and systems are best suited for use in African schools as the project is gradually extended. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make allAfrica.com your home page | RSS Feed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Top | Site Français | Site Guide | Who We Are | Advertising | Search | Subscribe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions or Comments?

The wave of technology is a metaphor for the rapid development, uptake, evolution and obsolescence of technology (and computer technology in particular) in modern societies. Technology transforms societies, provides new ways of communicating and interacting, creates opportunities for economic growth and betters the lot of humanity when used in an ethical way. The wave of technology is ridden by those who do research and development and those who use technology. It is exciting to ride and full of change and turmoil.
