Information Communication Technology and Education (Networking: the Foundations For Information Society)

The revolutionary impacts of information and communications technologies (ICTs) affects the way people live, learn and work and the way government interacts with civil society. The digital networks seem to be making in roads as a new information carrier, capable of transmitting news in real time equally as well as the written press, radio or television programmes. A Solid framework of ITrelated policies and action can change the way in which we interact, while promoting social and economic opportunities worldwide. A effective partnership among stakeholders, including through joint policy cooperation, is also key to the sound development of a truly global information society.
