Hi all, My NGO (RESPECT.ORG.IN also see www.AdvisorICT.com) is trying fill the teachers gap using "Ezibox" in some of the rural areas. I can send more inputs if needed.

To: "The Digital Divide Network discussion group" <digitaldivide@digitaldivide.net> Date: Friday, July 3, 2009, 5:58 AM Dear Alan/Others Here in Sri Lanka (South Asia) we have a project called Digital Bridge, in which we connect thousand rural schools with the satellite technology. We are working with the Ministry of Education (MoE) of Sri Lanka and there is a dedicated educational channel which telecast programmes on local school syllabus. We have developed contents in local languages (Sinhalese and Tamil) and schools can select the language according to their preference. The high quality, educational contents developed by the Ministry of Education, are telecasted by Dialog TV (a company of Dialog Telekom) to the rural schools. Sri Lanka, being a developing country has some infrastructure issues in the rural schools. In some schools we do not have qualified teachers to teach subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, etc. Also those schools are lacking with library facilities, science lab facilities, computer lab, etc. So in our Digital Bridge project we have selected those rural schools and trying to deliver quality education using the technology as an attempt the bridge the rural digital divide. Best regards, Sameera Wijerathna Co-ordinator CSR (ICT) Dialog Telekom PLC 3rd Floor, DTV Building, 275, Nawala Road, Nawala. Sri Lanka.
