Education The prohibitive cost of ICT equipment means that the vast majority of children in the developing world leave school having never touched a computer in the classroom. However, ICT skills are essential to level the playing field between children in developing countries and other parts of the world. With ICT, teachers can gain access to up-to-date teaching materials and children are able to learn the ICT skills required for further education and higher paid employment in the future, enabling children to significantly improve their life prospects. Health There is a chronic shortage of doctors and nurses in much of Africa, particularly in rural areas. In Zambia there are only 20 nurses and midwives for every 10,000 people and, in Southern Sudan, there is just one doctor for every 100,000 people. With access to ICT, doctors and nurses can connect to specialists and participate in e-learning courses. In this way, health professionals can gain the support and training they need to provide life-saving medical care to rural populations. Agriculture Many farmers are reliant on traditional methods of growing crops and are unable to access information which will help them increase yields and improve their production. Access to ICT makes it possible for farmers to find and share information with other communities and keep up to date with weather forecasts which can help them to increase crop growth. Once harvested, the internet can also help farmers gain entry to new markets.
