| Summary: | This short country report, a result of
larger Information for Development Program
(infoDev)-supported survey of 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. Algeria is encouraging
and fostering the use of ICT to enhance the development
process in general and the development of the educational
system in particular, paving the road for an ICT policy
framework along with an implementation strategy. The
government has placed weight on the development of
ICT-related human resources. In light of the globally
emerging knowledge and information society, Algeria has
formed a committee in charge of defining the elements of an
Algerian national information society strategy. It is
anticipated that the committee will work on creating
synergies among the different sectors in the area of
infrastructure, training, and research as well as
information systems and ICTs. The committee will identify a
national ICT working group, which will be charged with
formulating short-, medium, and long-term action plans for ICT. |
