“The importance of information technologies for educational use cannot be underestimated. It gives developing countries the opportunity to skip an
entire generation of infrastructure by going directly to internet technology. I strongly believe in partnerships, in joining forces and in together making this
world a better place, where opportunities can be seized by everyone.”
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
