【正确答案】亚太经合组织的领导们在最近的会议上达成共识:信息技术将是教与学的核心能力。
为了确保每个亚太经合组织地区里的人都能从由信息技术所带来的机遇中获益,领导们签署了一份战略协议,使该组织成员国区域内到2010年前都能享受到因特网服务。
作为实现该目标的第一步,亚太经合组织计划在2005年前,让成员国区域内个人或社区上网的人数增加两倍。

APEC leaders at their recent meeting agreed that information technology should be a core competency for learning and teaching.
To ensure that everyone in the APEC region benefits from the opportunity presented by information technology, leaders endorsed a strategy to enable region-wide access to Internet services by 2010.
As a first step towards this goal, APEC aims to triple the number of people within the region with individual and community-based access by 2005.
This is a concrete measure taken by APEC in its endeavor to bridge the digital gap and turn "digital divide" into "digital opportunity".
