Abstract	This document begins by describing the technological revolution and the impact of computers, and their role in education in Latin America and the Caribbean. Some educators believe that computer literacy can provide young people with access to better jobs in the society of the future and upgrade the level of education in general. An article by Martin Carnoy, Hugh Daley, and Liza Loop, "Education and Computers: Panorama and Reality," evaluates these arguments. The relation between the cost effectiveness of education in computer assisted instruction (CAI) is compared to the rates of student success and future employment. Research indicates that only a small fraction of jobs require higher skills, and while CAI seems to promote faster learning, especially among slow learners, the cost of equipment and trained personnel may be too great in countries with a low per capita income. Marta Mena discusses the relevance of current adult education correspondence courses and presents a scheme for their redesign in light of new information and current thought. The old model is directed to remedial action, with prescribed steps based on the search for efficiency in learning. Generally, these programs have been directed to isolated adults, considered as receptors of predetermined products, who will understand, accept, and apply the content established by the system. An analysis by Rodrigo Parra Sandoval concerning rural schooling in Colombia and a paper by Dr. J. Peter Figueroa on the need to incorporate school health programs in educational planning, are included. (NL)
