As someone who watched the explosion of Internet use in Canada 5 years ago, it is fascinating to see the same scenario play out here, but with its own idiosyncrasies. The lack of money has held the Internet back in. Computers as still too pricey for most host holds and the cost of telecommunications is prohibitive. It's a vicious cycle. Peru needs good, cheap education quickly because the lack of money excludes most people from ever accessing good programs, and with such low household incomes, schooling is a luxury which is often left behind at an early age.
People remain uneducated so their poverty persists.
And this in a country that is sitting on unbridled wealth in agriculture, tourism, fishing and mining, all areas where professionals are desperately needed. There are only 4 universities that have MBA programs in a country that is desperate for newly trained managers. They are all expensive. One has a video conference segment with a Canadian university. N.G.O management would be terrific.
