by Puna Das 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Public Consultation - National Information Society Policy: A template Developed by the Information For All Programme Of UNESCO to Assist UNESCO Member States in the Development of National Information Policy and Strategy Frameworks The Information for All Programme of UNESCO (IFAP) was established by UNESCO to provide a framework for international co-operation and partnerships in "building an information society for all". IFAP's focus is on ensuring that all people have access to information they can use to enhance their lives. UNESCO has assumed the task of assisting Member States in the formulation of national information policy frameworks, in particular within the framework of the Information for All Programme (IFAP). The "Tunis Agenda for the Information Society," adopted during the second phase of WSIS in Tunis in 2005 included the following paragraph: "Taking into consideration the leading role of governments in partnership with other stakeholders in implementing the WSIS outcomes, including the Geneva Plan of Action, at the national level, we encourage those governments that have not yet done so to elaborate, as appropriate, comprehensive, forward-looking and sustainable national e-strategies, including ICT strategies and sectoral e-strategies as appropriate , as an integral part of national development plans and poverty reduction strategies, as soon as possible and before 2010." The Template is intended to assist countries and governments in the process of developing, or extending and updating, such policies and strategies. It was developed for IFAP and under its guidance by a team of researchers from the Foundation Gestion y Desarrollo – LINKS (Argentina), led by dr Susana Finquelievich. All interested parties are invited to send in comments on this Template, before it is submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of IFAP for approval and then distributed to UNESCO Member States. Please send your comments before September 20, 2009, to: Karol Jakubowicz, Chair, IFAP Intergovernmental Council email: jkarol7[at]tlen.pl Mr. Boyan Radoykov, UNESCO Information Society Division email: B.Radoykov[at]unesco.org Download Template http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/files/29085/12519019713NATIONAL_INFORMATION_… Source: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=29084&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECT… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you.

Teachers Day Celebration
by Charu 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Respected Friends, Greetings for the day, Teachers have a very special place in the society. They have the instinct to recognize talent and nurture it. They are the creators of responsible citizens, who contribute to the society in one way or the other. Students, especially the small children, often consider their favorite teacher as the perfect person on earth. Teachers are considered the mentors, who not only guide a person academically, but also instill moral and ethical values in him/her. Celebrations are parts of every type of relationship. When it comes to teacher and student, Teacher's Day becomes the golden opportunity for both of them, to honor their unique bond and also appreciates teaching and the people who have opted for the profession. It is a day, when students approach their teachers and extend their sincere gratitude to them. It is the time to pay tribute to them, who have shaped up our career and imparted knowledge to their students, not just to excel academically, but also to develop their personality. I would like to offer my gratitude towards teaching community in following words--- God understood our thirst for Knowledge, And Our Need To Be Led By someone wiser; He needed a heart of compassion, Of encouragement, and patience; Someone who would accept The Challenge Regardless Of The Opposition; Someone who could see potential And believe in the best in others . . . So he made teachers ……..Happy Teachers Day………….. Regards. Miss Charu Mathur, Delhi. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
