  • Priorities of the Government of Norway: access, skills, regulations & inclusion

MoE, connecting schools

MoE suggest to connect all 3500 secondary schools within 6 months (total envisaged budget 35 million USD). Proposal submitted to the Norwegian Government to support the MoE by connecting 500 secondary schools

The discussion which we are all facing is how we manage to ensure access, leading to skills and empowerment, rather than just focussing on social media and entertainment. Given the work of the Basic Internet Foundation to bring digital health information out to people - see https://digitalhealth.yeboo.com - we see the need to establish a value proposition for governments

  • National_Knowledge_Portal
 is easy to sell to governments, given the dimension of data governance & innovation, as well as promoting information on health & education
  • Adding free access to the National Knowledge Portal combines access and regulations, and thus is an easy way to get regulations going.
  • See argumentation by 4 Universities in Norway, submitted to the Government: Media:Implementing_Digital_Inclusion_on_a_Global_Scale.pdf
