Cisco Education Initiatives
The
Internet and education will be the great equalizers of the
next century, creating enormous opportunities for people and
countries that succeed in harnessing the power of
information and knowledge. But the lack of
Internet-supported education and shortage of
technology-savvy workers are global dilemmas. Countries
around the globe now have the chance to accelerate the
development process by embracing information technology and
committing themselves to match technological advancement
with investment in human skills.
