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. Although
Togo has no ICT policy in place, a revision to the education
policy in 2003 makes reference to the need provide ICT
orientation and training for students. However, the lack of
resources is constraining government efforts to take
significant action. Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs)
are active in terms of obtaining computers for a few schools
and some private school sare able to maintain computer labs
by charging extra fees - a practice that is not affordable
for most students in the public system. The Agence
Universitaire de La Francophonie (AUF) actively working with
several higher education institutions to provide access to
computer facilities with high speed Internet connectivity.
Television has also been used to train teachers in pedagogy. |
