Extraordinary School Project/Developing World

The Extraordinary School Project for the Developing World is an active research project that is building schools in less economically developed nations that are designed to help the people of these countries to learn how to produce and sell intellectual property for distribution over the Internet.

While this projects goal is to fully implement an Extraordinary School, it will initially use a subset of the concept, and will be designed to teach knowledge and skills required for Economic Leap Frogging through Trading Information via the Internet.

Introduction

Less developed countries have a deep need for improving the standard of living of the majority of residents. Further, due to a lack of existing infrastructure, in some ways, it is easier to build new infrastructure and have new ideas develop. Further, many of the startup costs in most developing countries are generally far less than those in more developed nations. (Although infrastructure costs, such as electricity, and telecommunications/Internet may be greater.)Extraordinary schools in these less developed areas will bemore targetted and focused than in more developed areas.

By building successful systems in less developed nations, other countries will have more of an incentive to "keep up", and copy the successful system. Also, by building success in less developed nations, it will prove the point that the more developed nations are only not able to do these tasks due to a lack of thinking, not a lack of resources.
