  14. Technology Do’s & Don’ts • Algeria spent heavily on telecommunication infrastructure when oil revenues were at their highest in the 1970s and early 1980s. • The network is in a relatively good condition despite the need to expand in response to additional demands and traffic on the network. • Algeria is now facing economic as well as political difficulties which make it difficult to upgrade the existing telecommunication network.

  15. Technology Do’s & Don’ts (Contd.) • Mobile Cellular Subscribers: 25 million. (2007) • Television per 100 inhabitants: 10 (2000) • Home satellite dishes/antennas: 3,500,000 (2000) • Cable TV subscribers: cable TV service is currently not available • Facebook Users: 1,086,580 as of August 31, 2010, according to Facebook. Algerian Internet Usage

  16. Technology Do’s & Don’ts (Contd.) • Literacy (age 15 and over can read and write). Total population 69.9% (2004 est.); female 60.1%; male 79.6%. • Algeria's educational system has grown dramatically since the country gained its independence. • In the last 12 years, attendance has doubled to more than 5 million students. Education is free and compulsory to age 16.  • Despite government allocation of substantial educational resources, population pressures and a serious shortage of teachers have severely strained the system.

  17. SWOT Analysis • Strengths: Giving Algerian scholars the ability to further their education, assisting Algerian professors • Weakness: Safety, enough qualified workers, sustainability, lack of resources, culture differences • Opportunities: Offering a unique experience for college graduates to travel and change the lives of students in need • Threats: local militia, volunteers, culture barriers, T.I.A.

  18. Building Goodwill • We plan to educate the local teachers which in return will strengthen their ability to teach the youth. • Our goal is to flourish in Kabyliain hopes of gaining the trust of local officials so that all Algerians can gain the advantage of a superb education.
