E-learning (C7)
Everyone should have the necessary skills to benefit fully from the Information Society. Therefore capacity building and ICT literacy are essential. ICTs can contribute to achieving universal education worldwide, through delivery of education and training of teachers, and offering improved conditions for lifelong learning, encompassing people that are outside the formal education process, and improving professional skills.
Education for All (EFA) is one of UNESCO’s central goals. Achieving the established EFA goals requires innovation in areas such as distance learning and the use of IT tools within the classroom.
