I would think that the first priority should be literacy, for everyone. In
the US we still have a high illiteracy rate for adults. Access to current
technology and information is of no use if the user cannot read.
Mathematical literacy is also high on my list of priorities.

Thank you, this seems to be a good initiative.
Also, I have decided to narrow down the scope of the problem to a number of
individual aspects as I feel it is the only possible way to accomplish the
task. The topics I am going to cover are as follows:
1) access to technology
2) access to information (includes networking)
3) acquiring the minimal ICT skills at school
4) acquiring the minimal ICT skills after school
5) the ethnical aspect (with the 160 ethnic groups and only few of them
having
computerized literacy this seems to be one of the specific problems of the
country)
6) lack of specialized content
7) the gender aspect
Maybe there's something extremely important left out. And if so, I will be
glad if someone points this out.
