Children Are The Source Of Future Wealth Of A Country.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Irvin Toffler

All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.

Recent indications are that Ghana is falling behind in its Internet usage compared to other African countries. The new medium, the Internet is like the compass that the early explorers used to conquer the new world. Those who did not have that technology fell behind. It is therefore imperative that the government of Ghana makes Internet available to all the schools if it wants to build the bridge of education to help fuel the development of Ghana.

It is gratifying to know that Ghana has signed on to the e School project from Intel. What good is this important project if the children have no access to the Internet? I realize that the schools without Internet would be supplied with CD's or DVD's filled with local educational contents to help bridge the gap between those with the Internet technology and those without. It looks like the Ghana government knows the importance of this project since it is planning on developing local contents for the Intel site.

"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."
