New technologies and telecommunications networks have
dramatically transformed all facets of life, from medicine to agriculture,
entertainment to politics, and economics to service industries (Milken
Foundation, 1999). This paper examines the opportunities and challenges
associated with technology in the delivery of education worldwide, with a focus
on developing countries. There are profound implications for governments,
educators and students around the world. This is the case for the delivery of
local education in specific countries, and extends to the potential
availability of an American education to millions beyond the borders. The paper
offers some practical suggestions for education policy makers and leaders in
further incorporating technology in global education systems. Increasing global
interdependence and the dismantling of geography as a barrier the information
access have profound implications for future sustainable development.
For students, GEN available delivers anything that can
support their study. Technology supports global education for students'
prosperity to survive in this world. They can get references about materials,
they can begin the journey that will make them the global leaders of tomorrow,

students who do not have the time or resources to travel, creates the
opportunity for students to build an international network of friends and
contacts, so that students can develop business leads, find new job
opportunities, and increase their knowledge of other countries and cultures.
Global Education Network helps students in order to make them be able to
compete in their real life.
Over all, we can conclude that GEN empowers the education
