Topics discussed
- MoE ambition in connecting schools
- National Knowledge Portal, having a holistic view on connectivity & skills
- 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
- https://owncloud.basicinternet.org/index.php/s/OEeoh7zKx4LOOj6 (slides, presentation of the concept)
- under political discussions in Norway
Suggestion to extend SchoolNet towards a knowledge portal in education
- Payee and Prof. Getnet Tadele have a digital hub for schools, the regional Education Bureau(?)
- they have connected 14 schools (starting with 1 school in 2015, and 4 more schools every year)
- typically 3-5 years support at each school
National Knowledge Portal
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
Access, Skills, Regulation & Inclusion
The background are the recommendation from the United Nations High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, The Age of Digital Interdependence, Report and Recommendations by the High-Level Panel, Jun2019, and citing the work of the Basic Internet Foundation in ref 59, p12
- 1A: We recommend that by 2030, every adult should have affordable access to digital networks, as well as digitally-enabled financial and health services, as a means to make a substantial contribution to achieving the SDGs…
- 1B: We recommend that a broad, multi-stakeholder alliance, involving the UN, create a platform for sharing digital public goods, ….
https://its-wiki.no/wiki/DigI:Publications
- Carlos Rey-Moreno: the high level panel on digital cooperation also mentions community networks
The Government of Norway has picked up on these topics, and released the Digital Transformation and Development Policy", Norwegian Government, Message to the Parliament, Meld. St. 11 (2019-2020), Apr2020, https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dokumenter/meldst11_summary/id2699502/?ch=1
- focus is on access, skills, regulations & inclusion.
- Argumentation on how to succeed: Media:Implementing_Digital_Inclusion_on_a_Global_Scale.pdf
Both ITU and Unicef focus on connectivity
- ITU released a report last week saying that CNs need to be enabled
- ITU Smart Villages Blueprint comes out. It could be a good link for CNs and education at the ITU level. They just take time putting things together
How community networks can grow
- 1. Low cost solution for initial connectivity
- BasicInternet:Solutions for re-using the mobile network and creating an information spot
- 2. Next step, establishing scalable community networks
- 3. Adding information and skills (National Knowledge Portal)
- 4. addressing regulations as free access to the National Knowledge Portal
Envisaged common work is to develop the community platform for (i) information access and (ii) community engagement
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xcbx2iHGaleRRjQ-Y6nDu3Dr254gQtZNS507Qh1kH2A/edit?usp=sharing (on developing the community platform)
