English to Swedish: Education and technology in developing countries General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Technology plays an increasingly significant role in improving access to education for people living in impoverished areas and developing countries. Charities like One Laptop per Child are dedicated to providing infrastructures through which the disadvantaged may access educational materials. The OLPC foundation, a group out of MIT Media Lab and supported by several major corporations, has a stated mission to develop a $100 laptop for delivering educational software. The laptops were widely available as of 2008. They are sold at cost or given away based on donations. In Africa, the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) has launched an "e-school program" to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years. An International Development Agency project called nabuur.com, started with the support of former American President Bill Clinton, uses the Internet to allow co-operation by individuals on issues of social development. India is developing technologies that will bypass land-based telephone and Internet infrastructure to deliver distance learning directly to its students. In 2004, the Indian Space Research Organisation launched EDUSAT, a communications satellite providing access to educational materials that can reach more of the country's population at a greatly reduced cost.
Translation - Swedish Teknik blir allt viktigare när det gäller att öka möjligheten för utbildning för de som bor i fattiga områden och utvecklingsländer. Hjälporganisationer som One Laptop per Child arbetar för att kunna erbjuda infrastrukturer och därmed hjälpa missgynnade grupper att få tillgång till utbildningsmaterial. OLPC Foundation, en grupp inom MIT Media Lab med stöd från flera större företag, har som mål att utveckla en bärbar dator som kostar 100 USD och som kan användas för utbildningsprogram. De här bärbara datorerna fanns tillgängliga från och med 2008. De säljs till självkostnadspris eller ges som donationer. I Afrika har NEPAD (New Partnership for Africa's Development) startat ett e-utbildningsprogram med mål att inom 10 år kunna erbjuda alla 600 000 skolor på primär- och gymnasienivå med datorer, utbildningsmaterial och internetåtkomst. Det internationella utvecklingsprojektet Nabuur.com, som grundades med stöd från före detta presidenten Bill Clinton, använder internet för att möjliggöra samarbete om sociala utvecklingsfrågor. Indien utvecklar i nuläget teknik för att kringgå den fasta infrastrukturen för telefoni och internet i syfte att kunna erbjuda distanslärande direkt till eleverna. Indian Space Research Organisation lanserade 2024 EDUSAT, en kommunikationssatellit som gör det möjligt att komma åt utbildningsmaterial och som kan nå ut till fler av landets invånare till en betydligt lägre kostnad.
