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.

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.
