  Information Technology is emerging to be the technology of 21st century. The
paradigm shift from industrial society to information society had already
become a reality! It is indeed high time to think about integrating IT in all
facets of education -- may it be in secondary level, or be it in reskilling the
employed ones. This paper discusses various issues in incorporating IT in
various levels of education, and the need to think about a task force to
counter the so-called slow down and recession in IT industry. The opportunities
for aspiring IT professionals were also discussed. The importance of reskilling
as a continuing education programme to make the people aware of the changing
trends in IT was also discussed.
