Expanded Computer Services and Community Outreach
On the drawing table are plans to provide Internet access for the Departmental Directorate of Education (DDE), the Directorate for Bilingual, Intercultural Education (DIGBI), project offices in Santa Cruz, and the teacher training schools. Provision of Internet access and network exchange among facilities will depend upon physical, logistical, and economic viability. Plans currently include management training for both DDE and DIGBI staff.

Future Prospects
At a recent conference on bilingual and intercultural education in Guatemala City, new plans for improvements in this area were proposed by Vice-Minister of Education Demetrio Cojtí. The plans included goals such as the formation of cadres of translators, interpreters, linguists, and, most importantly, an increase from 6,500 to 100,000 trained bilingual teachers. Cojtí described the current bilingual system as transitional and emphasized the need for a completely integrated multilingual system for all formal schooling. LearnLink expects that its project schools will be pioneers in actualizing part of the new plans.
