| description |
The future development of Africa and its
participation in the knowledge society will be greatly
influenced by how Africa manages to deliver quality
education to its citizens. Education forms the basis for
developing innovation, science, and technology, in order to
harness resources, industrialize, and participate in the
global knowledge economy and for Africa to take its rightful
place in the global community. While information and
communication technology (ICT) has been used in many parts
of the world to improve the quality and increase access to
education, most African countries still face the challenge
that increased expenditure on education is not necessarily
achieving the expected benefits. This report examines the
potential for the use of ICT to support improvement and
transformation of the education sector in Africa, including
brief case studies of South Africa, Uganda, and Senegal. It
identifies specific opportunities and challenges, and
recommends areas of intervention for governments,
development partners, and other stakeholders. It looks in
particular at the following five areas: teacher professional
development; digital learning resources; affordable
technologies; education management information systems
(EMIS); and national research and education networks (NRENs). |
