The document discusses the traditional system of education and proposes e-learning as an alternative. It notes several weaknesses of the traditional system, including lack of skills, confidence, competitiveness, and placements. E-learning is presented as a way to address these issues by providing affordable, regularly updated, accountable, quantifiable and measurable knowledge. The document outlines e-learning systems architecture and recommends adopting the Moodle platform, which is open-source and has extensive support. Requirements for implementing e-learning include networking costs and hiring staff roles like a network manager and software manager.
