More on the subject of educational experiments in the developing world: BBC News has a photo essay on Barefoot College, which teaches basic skills and provides basic services to poor Indians in rural villages. Favorite quote:

"We keep getting these reports that no one reads, so we decided to put them to some use," Mr Roy says.
