| 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. ICT is central to
Rwanda's Vision for 2020, and ICT in education is one
of the core pillars of the country's national
information and communications infrastructure policy and
plan, adopted in 2000. Tremendous progress has been made
since then and the country continues to receive plaudits and
support from its development partners. The pace of
development of a national ICT infrastructure is remarkable
as is the progress within the education system on
disseminating computers and providing connectivity and
teacher training. Moreover, there is a nationwide effort to
provide universal access to both infrastructure and the
Internet in order to facilitate ICT4D in the broadest sense. |
