Some people think that introducing new technology can improve people's quality of life in the developing countries. However, others believe that free education should be offered. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Education

and

technology

are instruments for accelerating development in the developing countries. The issue of debate is whether new

technology

should be provided in developing countries or free

education

should be offered. I believe that a combination of

education

and

technology

has to be given. Those in favour of providing free

education

say that these countries need

education

before anything else. For the majority of underdeveloped countries, the quality of life is deteriorating despite several decades of development efforts. The gap between the developed and underdeveloped countries is

therefore

widening by the minute. It is very imperative that swift steps be taken to bridge

this

knowledge gap without which the economic and social disparity will widen even more rapidly. A good educational system should focus on laying the best foundation of knowledge and skill that are laid during the

first

years of

education

. What these countries need is

good

better

education

and training that can match the

technology

revolution. Supporters of

technology

the technology

say that most educational institutions in these countries lack quality educational materials. Library collections have become out of date and the laboratory equipment is most often old.

Therefore

, it would seem almost impossible for these countries to

setup

set up

efficient educational systems without the availability of multimedia and information

technology

. What is more, students can use technologies to access courses not available at their school; rural students can complete their studies without leaving their communities, and adults can take advantage of a more flexible study schedule. Cultural development will

also

benefit as knowledge-bases of art, culture and history can be easily created, made widely accessible and easily updated. To put it in a nutshell, I pen

down saying

Accept comma addition

down, saying

that the best possible thing to do would be to provide both

education

and

technology

simultaneously. It would

also

be a much cheaper alternative to provide

education

with the help of

technology
