| Summary: | This short country report, a result of
larger Information for Development Program
(infoDev)-supported survey of the Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa,
provides a general overview of current activities and issues
related to ICT use in education in the country. Tunisia has
committed to the institutionalization of ICT in all aspects
of the economy and has played a leading role on the global
level by hosting the second phase of the world summit on the
information system. To introduce and sustain the integration
of ICT in education, Tunisia has implemented a
multi-dimensional strategy based on modernizing its
infrastructure. Education is an important sector affected by
this policy where a major restructuring took place and
reforms have taken into consideration the integration of
ICT. Training and professional development of teachers and
administrators were also considered as keys to successfully
implementing ICT at all stages of the teaching-learning
process. Distance education opens new horizons and
constitutes a rich field of research, innovation, and
creation that still needs to be reinforced and further developed. |
