My team at European Schoolnet just completed our white paper financed by Cisco.
From the press release:
"A high number of female students are not pursuing further studies or careers in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, despite having good basic computing skills, according to a study and white paper by European Schoolnet, commissioned by Cisco. The study can be downloaded from www.eun.org/whitepaper."
Some key recommendations from the report to address the problem:
- Public-private partnership could play a role in changing perceptions about industry, by giving access to more realistic and authentic information about ICT and ICT careers.
- Need to ensure accurate information about ICT is available to teachers, pupils and their parents.
- Numerous initiatives launched, but mainstreaming is required to have a systemic impact.

E Learning is another ray of hope, I am Christian but I am learning Quran just to read more about Islam and Quran in details, I have to complete a thesis on Online Quran learning and Quran recitation, Tajweed rules, Tafseer, Tarteel and Tajweed o Qirat, these things are new for me and learning quran online always looked impossible until I reached an E Learning Quran Academy which is helping me now a days Learn to read, recite and even Memorize quran with E Learning possibilities.
