105 Internet environment in educational institutions is still inadequate. • There is no clear definitive idea on how to introduce the movement of information of the information society into education. In addition, it can be perceived that the Internet challenges for education are: • The provision of industry based courses that allow students to progress via well defined, efficient and highly articulated educational model. • the greater use of technology to improve the quality of courses and enhance the flexible delivery of materials, and • The development strategies to ensure the economic viability of IT for education operations. 4. Some Constraints to Utilised IT for Education in Indonesia The general constraint to utilised IT for education in Indonesia is imbalance between the need and availability of people with IT knowledge. Computer hardware and software also suffering from shortages of IT personnel, spotty intellectual property protection, and constrains on foreign investment in the distribution service sector. Lack of appropriate experience and knowledge, teaching materials and inadequate basic method of teaching through IT may cause some problems how to fit the IT in education system. Along with insufficient numbers of teaching staff who understand IT, education institutions also suffer from the lack of equipment, problem of bandwidth and server, financial support as well as networks. On the other hand the lecturers have their own reasons not to apply IT, i.e.: • lack of time, • lack of support staff, • lack of information, and • lack of suitable materials Observation made by Doughty (1996) is relevant to be put as the point of consideration. He observes that attitudes of the teachers often contain objections. These are "computers will never be more effective than lectures" or "we can't give up laboratory space for computers" or "the student will always learn, whatever we try to teach" or "we need to enhance our research reputation, not spend on teaching". In this regard, the IT advocate must accommodate the many views that all person responsible in teaching hold on what is important in the teaching and learning process. From Indonesian point of view, it is clear that Indonesia is not too advanced in the IT. Nevertheless, some progress has been made to incorporate IT in the teaching purposes. 5. Conclusion The globalisation of education is now providing the ability for disciplines such as remote sensing to operate on a sound economic footing. However, with regard to IT strategies to strengthen offering may have to be considered. There are so many implications and impacts come to pass, either in human or organisational terms. To educational economists the evaluation of costs and benefits of education must include all costs and all benefits to the whole society. 6.
