Every person – child, youth and adult – shall be able to benefit from educational opportunities designed to meet their basic learning needs.

The purpose of the project on Teachers of the Arctic is double:
- first, to modernize the Education system by training a new type of teacher – a teacher prepared to meet the challenges of minority cultures and languages and to inculcate an awareness of environmental issues in young people; and
- second, lay the foundations for what, it is hoped, will be a partnership with countries having circumpolar populations.
Given the considerable potential of ICT to alleviate some of the problems of Arctic isolation, the project will include a component in which ICT user competencies will be clarified and incorporated into the skill profile of future teachers.
