The WSIS outputs on
capacity building emphasized that "each person should have
the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and
knowledge in order to understand, participate actively in,
and benefit fully from, the Information Society and the
knowledge economy."
ICTs can contribute to
achieving universal education worldwide, through delivery of
education and training of teachers, and offering improved
conditions for lifelong learning, encompassing people that
are outside the formal education process, and improving
professional skills.
The WSIS outputs
identified a number of key initiatives that should be
undertaken to promote capacity building vis-�-vis ICTs.
During this session, some of the key trends that have
emerged and how ICTs are being used for eduction, learning
and development will be discussed by the panellits followed
by a plenary debate.
