Learning Links Foundation firmly believes that Information and Communication technologies
greatly facilitate the acquisition and absorption of knowledge. It offers developing
countries, unprecedented opportunities to enhance educational systems, improve policy
formulation and execution along with advanced business propositions.

However, the Digital Divide - the gap between those who have access to and control
of technology and those who do not, is a significant reality. The introduction and
integration of ICTs at different levels and in various types of education is a challenging
undertaking. Failure to meet the challenge would mean a further widening of the
knowledge gap and the deepening of existing economic and social inequalities.
