This booklet, written for educational policy-makers in both more and less economically advanced countries, provides an analysis of the effects of ICTs on education and training, and identifies a number of strategies for national or regional policy-makers. Particular attention is paid to the costs and training required to sustain effective e-learning, and to the connection between national telecommunications policies and e-learning. There is also a focus on the impact of cross-border provision of education and the implications for national and regional governments. This booklet is essential reading for any government policy-maker with responsibilities for modernizing national or regional post-secondary education systems.
