Mega-Schools, Technology and Teachers [VIDEO] addresses the new challenges created by both the successes and the failures of the EFA campaign.

- How to prepare the 10 million new teachers that are required to achieve Education for All by 2015 (emphasis DSC) by focusing on classroom-based in-service training.
- Strategies for using technology to scale up distance education cost-effectively (emphasis DSC).
- The creation of a 21st century educational ecosystem (emphasis DSC) that integrates open schooling and teacher education with communities and their school systems.
- Successful examples of open schools and teacher education programmes operating at scale around the world.
