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.

This is what digital divides Network should be looking for. If so, we would love to learn more what system or technology you are using. Is there any technology available able to solve any country/s digital divides problems faced by practically most developing countries? In developed countries... is there any country able to provide uniform system for an entire country? If so, hope you can share with us all. If not , why is that so? What are the main challenges preventing such? Regards Alan www.paperlesshomework.com Solutions you never thought possible to close the digital divides. ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to digitaldivide-requ...@digitaldivide.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to digitaldivide-requ...@digitaldivide.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
