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. Botswana is a small,
dynamic country with visionary leadership particularly in
the sector of ICTs in education. Not only does it boast a
liberal telecoms policy, its education and national ICT
policies are linked to a broader economic vision for the
country. Moreover, in practice, Botswana arguably boasts
among the highest computer penetration in education
institutions in Africa. As well, all junior and senior
secondary schools and government tertiary institutions have
computer labs. The government has committed financial
resources to improve connectivity and to promote the
educational use of ICTs. |
