NUC pointed out that the critical point here is not the acquisition of hard wares and ICT skills for their own sake but the use of ICT as a tool for learning. ICT is needed for revitalising the education system. With wider access, there would be a shift from mere teaching to a rich learning environment, NUC said. It noted that most learning was actually informal and that without ICT people remained independent learners and were hardly able to reach their full potential.
