PART Recent Trends and Developments in Government Policies in Education, Science and Culture

Now that various sectors of society have rapidly become more information oriented, the education sector is no exception in its need to cope adequately with this change. The Ministry has been taking a variety of measures, focusing on: (1) the development of information literacy through both formal and non-formal education; (2) the utilization of new information media for educational purposes; (3) the training of experts who can lead people in an information oriented society; and (4) the provision of more information equipment in educational and cultural facilities, and the sharing of more information networks among these facilities.
