<div>While we have taken some time to generate a little traction for OLPC in India with over a dozen stakeholders in serious negotiations and requests for XOs in six digits, we have been asked a few questions that may hopefully be addressed better with the experience of all of us in this community.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It may seem rather obvious to most of us. However, its how we address them for the benefit of the enthusiasts who are willing to take the next steps that may help them move forward.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For instance, how do we best demonstrate that by introducing XOs, there will be significant improvement in the quality of education?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there any studies that refer to some benchmarks and the results compared to that? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or has something been done by anyone in a controlled environment? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And obviously they want answers from within India rather than from the global environment.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone thought about creating a sustainable model of deploying XOs in the context of our school education environment? </div>
