The Bank appreciates the important role information technology is playing and will continue to play in the education sphere especially at the level of higher education.

ICTs (i.e. distance education and open learning, the Internet etc.) offer powerful tools that could facilitate regional co-operation in education development (especially at the secondary and tertiary levels).
