The main objective of PRONET is to design , develop , and demonstrate an integrated training and support service network for professionals using multimedia and telematics technology . EGCD will be base to teach a concrete study subject ( geography ) in school with the help of computers what will be integrated step by step ( teacher - a few enthusiastic pupils - group work - individual study en masse ) into study process . A recent survey among Belgian private firm using spatial data showed that , even when considering spatial data of strategic importance , firms were only prepared to spend a limited budget ( in t erms of time and money ) at GIS training ( D. Vanneste , 1996 ) . Expecting families to make such sacrifices in the interests of ones education is common among black people in South Africa , but clearly some students and their families found the burden heavy to bear . Hand in hand with this dilution of GIS education has also gone the notion that individuals in the discipline with an interest in the further technical development of GIS are somehow not doing " real geography .
