INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIES IN THE NORTHERN
PROVINCE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Description: As Minister of Education, Arts, Culture and Sports for the Northern Province of the Republic of South Africa, Dr. Motsolaedi had to face the grotesque legacies of apartheid and its pernicious 'Bantu Education' policies and the passionate expectations of the people newly liberated from them. The use of information technology has been central to his strategies, both in democratizing and reconstructing the educational management systems on which decisions are made and also in the extensive use of technology for students so that they will leapfrog into the modern world. All this is being undertaken in a Province apparently crippled by poverty and unemployment, with many areas with no electricity, let alone a telephone service. |
Dr. P. A. Motsoaledi Minister of Education, Culture and Sports Northern Province, Republic of South Africa Dr. P. A. Motsoaledi obtained his medical degree in 1983 at the University of Natal (Durban, Republic of South Africa) and worked as a private practitioner in the Northern Province. His political activism began during his days as a student and continued until he stood, successfully, for election on an African National Congress ticket in 1994 and was appointed Minister of Education, Arts, Culture and Sports for the Northern Province. |

PL | ---- PLENARY 7: HOW
COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS WILL TRANSFORM SCHOOLS IN
THE NEXT TEN YEARS Description: While computing and communication are commonly available in our office environments, teachers and students (with rare exceptions) have had limited access. In the United States, President Clinton and the U.S. Congress have created and funded programs designed to catalyze state, local, and private efforts to provide all U.S. schools with access to computing and the Internet. How will ubiquitous computing and communications transform schools over the next ten years? We know something about what will happen from experiments funded by federal government agencies (Education, Energy, National Science Foundation, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration) as well as private corporate programs. Our students are our most avid innovators and explorers. Without a doubt, the changes will be profound. Alexis Poliakoff will wrap up ICTE Oslo 1997, both pulling the threads of the conference together, and giving ICTE delegates an intriguing glimpse of the next decade of networking, telecommunications, and the Internet in schools. |
Alexis Poliakoff USA (U.S. Department of Education) Alexis Poliakoff has been involved in United States federal education programs and networking for more than 20 years. As a program officer in higher education and network manager he oversaw the installation of a Department-wide network. He serves as a representative to several Inter-Departmental committees on science and technology, K-12 advanced networking, and the Next Generation Internet. Mr. Poliakoff's primary interest has been in fostering the technical choices available to schools. |
