Scenario 2: permanent austerity
• Greater leverage on ICT because brick and mortar schools are expensive
• Moore’s law on technology getting cheaper with time and ICT becomes very mobile
• Teachers and students learn from home - telecommuting to save cost
• Interaction with other children and with teachers at a localised community level say with a 10 block radius
• A school without a building - administrative work done online and classes conducted at places of interest say a museum for social studies
