Abstract
In the panel discussion following the lectures on tele-education, hunger, illiteracy, and poverty were listed as the prime concerns in Tanzania. These basic human needs must be addressed before other issues can be dealt with. Even developed countries have problems with hunger, illiteracy, and poverty. Our global village is dependent upon cooperation. In searching for solutions, we should start by eliminating illiteracy, and this will lead to education, economic improvement, and health care improvements. The most successful projects are those designed by the people, for the people. Solutions imposed from without often fail in the long run. However, literacy may not always be essential for having a successful society or culture. We should not impose one form of education on everyone else in the world. Since there are 700,000 primary school teachers in India, it is important that each teacher keeps learning as well as teaching. Tele-education could be used to teach the teachers, or to retrain workers as technology advances change the requirements of various jobs. The technology is now available, but we still need a way to bring education to the developing world. There are immense challenges ahead in the field of tele-education.
