We need a three-legged stool: content, technology and people
The second round of the UNESCO debate on eBooks and other technologies in the developing countries is underway. Dick in his second blog argues that the only way Quality Universal Basic Education (QUBE) can be achieved is through a coordinated strategy engaging high quality content, affordable technology and effective teachers. He argues that no two of these is sufficient.
One discussant has suggested that we should add an “A” for Affordable, making it AQUBE. That works. Although we need to be careful that we don’t assume current levels of investment in basic education. Current levels will not do the job and governments need to understand the need to increase substantially their investment in basic education in order to achieve QUBE.
