IT education in a cultural context: a comparison of three approaches in afghanistan

Abstract	This paper examines the approaches to information technology (IT) education at three universities in Afghanistan. If the world truly is flat, the approaches to IT education at the National Military Academy of Afghanistan, American University in Kabul, and Kabul University would be similar to what you might find in the United States and other developed nations. Connectivity would allow rapid access to a shared repository of information. Students could access that shared repository and become sufficiently informed to contribute in the fields of information technology. While cultural differences would exist, the underlying universal truths embodied in IT education would remain the same and likewise be shared. The best in the world would compete and prosper in information technology. Unfortunately, this utopian view does not exist in developing nations posing the question of what are effective pedagogical approaches to IT education in developing nations. This paper provides an Afghan perspective.
